Smith's options reduced

Fri, 23 Oct 14:21:41 2009

Rangers manager Walter Smith has several injury concerns ahead of their Clydesdale Bank Premier League game against Hibernian.

Midfield could be a problem area, with Pedro Mendes out for up to two months with a knee injury while Kevin Thomson is a doubt after injuring his shoulder in training.

Madjid Bougherra will also miss the visit of the Edinburgh club with a knee injury which is likely to keep him on the sidelines for a couple of weeks, while Maurice Edu and Kirk Broadfoot are still out.

  1. Mendes isn't a problem as you just make Davies one­ of the middle two, where he is 100% more effective­ anyway. I see him & Thomson as a better partnership­ than Mendes & Thomson, although if Thomson­ doesn't make it for today's game then you play­ McUlloch. That's no problem either because Thomson­ is clearly still not 100% fit, although obviously I­ understand that you have to play him to get him there.­ Remember though that McUlloch has scored a couple of­ goals this season when he's deputised for­ Thomson.
    The only problem is in defence where Papac­ will play for Bougherra. I don't know what the @#$%­ Walter's thinking is in this because I've seen­ Danny Wilson play plenty of times & he's 10­ times better than Papac, a player who's forgotten­ how to play at centre half.

  3. offmymash,
    Would you care indicate where/when­ "i've read a lot of your posts on here".­ It would certainly be a revelation to me. Still, you­ probably work on the thesis that you should never let­ the facts get in the way of a cretinous assumption.

  7. Is there a particularly malevolent voodoo doctor in­ Haiti with an inexhaustible supply of pins and in the­ pay of septic fitba klub. I realise that all clubs­ suffer a degree of attrition but jeeessus, Rosenthal,­ Prodan, Kuznetsov,
    Durante, Smith, Douglas Badder etc­ etc ad nauseum (sorry about the Latin lads), Is there­ some logical reason why we seem to be more susceptible­ to the veritable slings and arrows or is it either the­ voodoo doctor or a dubious medical team?.
    PS talking­ about medical travails, glad to hear that John Hartson­ is well on the road to recovery.
