2nd leg: Starting 11

[jardi]

A good shout Francis. The only worry being we have 2 very volatile players performing in front of 50 000 baying Rangers fans. That's a very toxic mix which will not be lost on McCall.

Whoever turns out for Queens on Sunday will need to have their wits about them and we cannot afford to have anyone who might decide to turn on the petulant tap.

I know I am at risk of infuriating some people, but Higgins, Millar, McKenna and Beanie will need to not only play at their best, but avoid antagonising the referee by lunging, diving and arguing with any of the officials.

Regardless of what starting 11 or what formation we play,hopefully we give an all out attacking performance.If we are to be knocked out,at least try to go out with a bang rather than a whimper.High tempo attack was the of the game the two wins earlier at Palmerston.
More of the same on Sunday and we could do it!
'MON THE SOUTH!

Good point Jardi. Referees have an inclination towards rangers at the best of times. With a game of such importance ,we will have to be on our best behaviour and not give the ref any ammo to punish us with .

For me I would revert back to the more traditional 4-4-2 set-up as I personally think this is the way we can get in behind the Rangers defence.
Clark
Dowie-Durnan-Higgins-Holt
Carmichael-McKenna-McShane-Russell
Lyle-Reilly

Durnan is much better suited playing at centre-back, whilst Dowie is a much better passer of the ball, and has linked well with either Kidd or Carmichael on the right. Unfortunately my line-up would not include Kidd, as I feel that Carmichael has just found some good form (last 6 games)at the right time.
Too much negativity regarding McShane at present,and for someone to suggest that he should be 'sweeping roads' is a quite ridiculous statement. As a youngster still learning his trade, it is a certainty that he will have many poor/indifferent performances, but it is abundantly clear that he has a lot of talent, and will continue to improve each season - as he has done since becoming a regular first team player at Queens.
As for his roles at set-plays, many of Queens

[quote="JRSLEFTPEG"]I am desperate, as you all are, for Queens to show the rest of the country what a good team we can be . The next goal in this tie is so, so important . They score and its curtains for us but if we manage to , then its game on and doubts could start to fill their heads . Our best chance is to try to take the sting out of the game early on and get our passers moving the ball side to side, just keeping possession when we can. So important because rangers, roared on with a full house, will try to bury us early on. We just need to survive the first twenty mins or so onslaught . The longer the game goes on and its deadlock , our belief will grow and just remember we only need one goal . It would be a shame that after all our hard work in getting into the play off spot that we went out with a whimper . Needless to say , but when we get the rare chance it just HAS to be buried and we have men that can do this .This game is still alive but I ca

Dirtbag- nothing wrong with showcasing our skills on live TV . I would be proud if folk outwith the region talked highly of us.

Yes, but we have been fairly high profile all season, and have been shown regularly on Sportscene, and across the UK on BT Sport, Queens, and their potential is known about far and wide I would suggest.

This would be one of the best results in our entire history if we pulled off a win at Ibrox but I realise we are up against it . One thing for sure is that I know this magic little team of ours- on their day- can match anyone and maybe , just maybe, Sunday can be one of those days.

if a 4-4-2

CLARK
KIDD, DOWIE, HIGGINS, HOLT
MCKENNA
CARMICHAEL, MILLAR, RUSSELL
LYLE, REILLY

Left McShane, Durnan and Paton out because felt their form hasnt been at its best. They still could prove important players for us on Sunday though.

[rjc_1988]

I would take a chance and go 3-5-2 but with Danny on right mid and play 3 central midfielders:-

Clark

Durnan Dowie Higgins

Carmichael Millar McKenna McShane Holt

lyle Reilly

Agree 100% with Mainstandman and I have been saying the same for a while - Ian McShane is an outstanding prospect and if he is not appreciated here there will be no shortage of clubs desperate to take him.

Last game at Ibrox he was MOM by the length of the Copeland Road - definite starter for me and I will very surprised if the Manager does not start him.
