"Peterhead will be able to include Ryan McCann against Rangers after midfielder signed a new short-term deal with the club, but Blue Toon manager Jim McInally will be without defender Callum MacDonald and striker David Ross, who both have knee injuries. Strikers Rory McAllister and David Cox are in line to start after last weekend's goalless draw with Queen's Park. McInally said: "We started off poorly against Queen's Park as we were standing back admiring their players. "We cannot afford the same approach against Rangers or we will be severely punished. "There is no pressure on us, so we'll go out and look to do as well as we did on the opening day of the season when we secured a 2-2 draw." Rangers defender Ross Perry is a slight doubt due to an ankle knock, but should be fit for Sunday's Balmoor clash, while Ian Black returns from suspension. Skipper Lee McCulloch remains sidelined with an ankle injury, while Darren Cole will have surgery later this month on an ankle problem which will end his season. " Ripped off some SFL website. Weather permitting, we're right back to where we started off at the start of the season today. Our opening lineup that day consisted of Alexander, Broadfoot, Goian, Bocanegra, Little, Black, MacLeod, Wallace ,McCulloch ,Shiels and McKay. Wallace is now the only defender left at the club out of that starting line up. Has there been any more news about Goian coming back? MacLeod has probably been one of our sucess stories this year. McCulloch has done just what it says on the box this season and probably been our outstanding player. Who's been your favourite player over the first half of the season? My choice would be Lee Wallace.
Hopefully a safe and stress free afternoon for us. I'd agree with Wallace being the best player so far but if Templeton can keep himself free from injury I think we might be saying different come the end of the season.
Once you watch the highlights (Which you will, obviously) you can decide if it was a second bookable offence or not.
That was a bit rough today. Sandaza finally scored though. I thought he had done his eye in again after he scored it when he ran away covering it, was it just paranoia on his part or some bizarre celebration? Templeton missed at least a hat trick today! I thought that while their boy should have been sent off technically it was still a bit harsh. I can't believe their number 2 didn't even get booked. You saw him thinking the same thing when he was eventually hooked. The one when he nearly sent Black through the billboards was really OTT.
It all makes sense,a few years ago you boys had your minister looking Your refereeing needs and coaching others how to ref Rangers games. Unfortunately he was caught giving a practical bible lesion to a young girl in a car park. His ministries and his refereeing were given a red card. Dallas and son have worked hard for the Huns ever since, but we have found out recently that the Brother of an exhun footballer is now a referee to help young Dallas to maintain the. Status quo, decisions are made by referees on the basis if it is a good decision for Rangers, it is good enough for the referee.
You can't control the ball like a basketball player and not expect to be booked. Deliberate handball is a yellow card. I thought hegarty was a bit **** today.
After all your Christian country patter you come out with this? He wasn't very good today, but I suppose he's still learning. The right back position has been problematic this season.
