Bring on Falkirk

Tomorrows game against Falkirk will be quite a day as the main stand officially becomes the Bill Struth stand and will hopefully see Barry ferguson return to top team action.

In my view it is high time that one of the stands was named after Mr Struth as he gave 40 odd years of his life to the club in various capacities and set in stone so many standards that many a manager would never come close to matching, I realise that no one will ever manage Rangers for 34 years again but the standards he set were that only being top matters as he said with the legendary quote.

"Let the others come after us, we welcome the chase." which is spot on as we should be the benchmark that others must match and we should always strive to stay at least one step ahead.

Now there are other players we should name stands after and I think the Govan stand should be next and in my book Alan Morton, Jim Baxter and John Greig should be the candidates, lets hope that this happens at some point.
Onto the on field action and this is my predicted line up:

------------------------------------McGregor-------------------------------------

Bardsley----------------J-Rod---------Papac----------------------------Smith

----------------------Ferguson----------------Clement------------------------

Sionko---------------------------Prso----------------------------------Martin

-----------------------------------Boyd----------------------------------------

Ferguson will not last the game if he starts, that is, and Hemdani will come on for him or vice versa. Hemdani has been a stand out and I hate to see him getting dropped, but Fergusons snarl and leadership is needed in there and that is one thing we have missed this season. McGregor hopefully will not be in goal after this game and quite right as he does not inspire confidence in his tewam mates nor the fans and once we have Letizi back or even der Goalie then things will settele down.
Falkirk will not cause many problems other than having a lot of possesion but they do not do much with it anyway so frustrtaion will be our biggest obstacle tomorrow but that will be remedied with an early goal hopefully.
