Scope to rest players between European dates

124

Under normal conditions, starting the season at home to Hamilton Accies would be welcome as a soft introduction, but anything out of the ordinary is a leveller.  We have yet to play a football game and no friendlies are arranged, a situation that will need to change quickly.

Neither team will be fully fit for that fixture on 2 August, a situation that favours Hamilton significantly more than Celtic.

The European qualifiers are sandwiched between fixtures against Aberdeen, Dundee United, Motherwell, Ross County, Livingston and Hibs.  Crucially, we are at home ahead of both play-off round legs .  There should be scope in these fixtures for Neil Lennon to rest players during this period, without harming our 10-in-a-row quest too much.

  1. Hi Bhoys

     

     

    From the gossip on BBC website-

     

     

    Assistant Michael Beale is “the brains” of Rangers’ management team and would be the ideal replacement if Steven Gerrard moved on, says former Ibrox striker Kyle Lafferty. (Open Goal)

     

     

    The plot thickens.

     

     

    KEEP THE FAITH

  2. Don’t see Gerrard moving to Bristol City.

     

     

    As funny as that would be, I doubt that twitter account is legit.

  3. Gerrard must stay. He just needs a lot more time and funding. Loads more funding…how else can the man be expected to beat Hearts and Hamilton ?

     

     

    A week after launching their new kit, it’s now impossible to preorder their shirts on any platform, move along, nothing to see here…

     

     

    Seen the Morelos agent tweet last night, it really is a comedy act over there.

  4. Sevco in danger of losing the pre-season cup? Unprecedented..

     

     

    Slippy off to Bristol

     

    No shirts for sale

     

    Mike still in charge

     

    Morelos on eBay

     

    Katic crocked

     

     

    They’re one self-isolating 12th of July parade away from toppling over like an old colonial statue….

    Reading through the fixture schedule brings the new season closer. I’m hoping for an orderly phased programme from the coaching staff to get us there in tiptop nick.

     

     

    Phase1 Griff arrives in car on time at Lennoxtown.

     

    Phase2 Griff catches the team bus for Loughborough.

     

    Phase3 Griff makes the flight for France with passport.

     

    Phase4 Griff kicks off v Accies
