Raskin is a good footballer. But he is an odious little cretin. Always diving under minimal contact, but always in the face of the referee moaning his face off. I thought that had been outlawed and it was "Captain only" for going to the referee? Just was certainly yellow carded for it last night. McLean isnt our worst referee, but he is weak. He allowed the Rangers players to get away with murder last night and they took full advantage. Thats only fair if it cuts both ways and it clearly didnt (numerous examples above). I love Big Eythor already. He saw the Rangers backline bullying our forward players last night and decided he wasnt having any of it. Some of his contacts with Souttar and Djiga were delicious! His assist for the goal is magnificent as Djiga has him in a stranglehold and he still gets his head onto the ball. I think with him on from the start we win that game and he might just be the difference maker in a cup run. Edit: Jens will have to work out how to tweak the system and who he is dropping in that scenario as JT will probably have to come out to the right again. I dont see us going 2 up top.

We are beating this lot. Be nice to humiliate them before the cup tie just to make sure they dont feel like they have an actual chance in the cup......

SOD was very good tonight and Fadinger was excellent until the red card. But Stephen Welsh was outstanding. Dealt with everything that came his way and scored a cracking goal. The adulation for him at the end was lovely to see. Pretty sure he never experienced that at Parkhead!

Thought it was a good performance tonight, although our attacking players were'nt quite on point with their passing in the final third. Some of that was down to how hard Rangers were working to put pressure on them, but still felt there were a few unforced errors. Thought McLean let them away with murder from fairly early on and allowed their repeated fouling to go largely unpunished. Dont think I have ever seen a Rangers team at Fir Park boot it long quite so much, kick, foul, dive and waste time. I suppose thats a compliment of sorts. Havent seen the red card back. Thought it twas a foul and a yellow card at the time, but happy to be corrected. Overall, a good point. We bossed the team that all the pundits think are probably favourites for the title. We may not be in the race ourselves, but we should take confidence from the performance to fuel our push for the cup. One of the uglies has to go and we have proved we are good enough to beat whatever one is still standing. Bring on Aberdeen......

Eyrhor! Eythor! Eythor! 🇧🇻🇧🇻🇧🇻

If we are already in the last year of the deal I would be surprised if they hadnt already paid up what we were due.....

Get Eythor from the dressing room! 😍😍😍

We need to come out the traps flying and take our chances this time. They got too much encouragement at Ibrox because we didnt put them away.

Given our budget compared to the other 3 we really shouldnt be anywhere near it. But here we are. I do agree, we probably are a little too far back and probably dont have the depth of squad to get it over the line in the league, but Im gonna enjoy the ride. I do think we have a real chance in the cup though, if we get the luck required. Beating Aberdeen at Pittodrie will be a difficult task, but its not impossible and the rewards tangible.....

We havent been in a title race for 30 years! Im not giving up on this one until its mathematically impossible! 😍😍😍 Edit: We do really need to win tonight to have any sort of realistic chance.......

The problem is if you dont live in the area and can only go to the ticket office before the game and the queue is all the way up Fir Park Street, its a pain in the hoop.....

To add in, I actually like us when we play without an out and out striker with the 3 front players moving around and interchanging. Must be an absolute nightmare to defend against. If you add in Just, Said, RCC and now Nicholson to our attacking options, I think we are in good shape.

We have Eythor and Maswanhise fit and ready. Hendry will be back soon. Zander McAllister has been getting minutes (and was doing so ahead of Stama) so youd have to think he is in Jens thoughts..... Given how we normally set up, I dont think we are short up front.

It would certainly signal that there is a vacancy for a shirt sponsor! (If indeed that is the case).

I see they have an option to buy. Hopefully he does well and makes their World Cup squad and we can get some of our money back.

Was quite surprised to hear this, but it turns out that G4 Claims have absolutely nothing to do with G4S!

Aye, there is that! Big Jens is in everyones head!

I got heavy "Eythor is starting this one" vibes from Big Jens presser......

He loves to have a bit of fun with them for sure! I guess they must enjoy it too though. Better than the same old scripted tropes you normally get from managers at these things. Jens is a class act.

Aye. An uncharacteristic miss from The Cobra. Gordons save from Moult in the 2017 League Cup Final is up there. Not really a miss as such, as it was good hit/save, but if it had gone in, it could well have changed the dynamic of that game.

For someone who predicts that we will get beat most weeks, I find this kind of positivity quite refreshing! 😍😍😍

Huge incentive for both teams now. Dunfermline away is not an easy draw, but its a really tasty tie at a good stadium with the prospect of a very big crowd. Should be a great away day for the winner.

Best not let that happen then! 😍😍😍

Agreed. The only real benefit is to allow any niggly wee injuries that players are carrying to settle down, and you dont pick up any more injuries or suspensions. Given that we actually had games that might have been played, it wont have allowed much more prep for this game as we would have been focussed on Dundee and Aberdeen. We are at home however, and with the bigger home supports we have experienced of late, I imagine the atmosphere for this one could be quite tasty.

I see what you did there! 🧡❤️🧡
