Lost Jack for this final and the pressure of two games in a few days will test our fitness, Juventus are a formidable foe and will give us a tough game, will not be easy, they are well capable of causing an upset, can we win the double ? Hope so, good luck Kaiser.

Cheers Gazza. It should be interesting. We're going for the treble now, and are also, like Rangers undefeated in all cup finals we have played. Having seen Barca go D and get no joy, I'm in two minds whether to go the 433 early goal/ shut up shop, or the 541 bring on 3 FW/AM after 117 mins option - will probably toss a coin at 5.30pm ! Good luck mate.

So it should be different to the League Cup semi - perfect.

No hopefully the same, scoring more goals than Juve lol Don't think you've ever beaten me and I've never lost a cup final, but looking at both teams were quite evenly matched, you've built a good team in one season and achieved amazing things, win this and respect is due mate, the very best of luck to you.

I wondered whether or not to try some mind games for this game, and decided last night that it might actually be not a bad thing in these current circumstances. Takes the mind off the news e.g. Built a title challenging squad, and saw we had a chance in the new Lockdown Cup - Just squeaked in on both! Didn't foresee the other two cup runs, so what a bonus there. ( *as a 5/6 season veteran manager [!], I'm hoping new managers will see how it's possible to assemble a very good squad reasonably quickly and win things.) So, it's fair to say Juventus hopefully have earned a little bit respect. Tonights game is a win win for us, regardless of the result. We'll probably play the way we have all season, patient passing or control the midfield - it's proven itself all season. Rarely have we gone out all guns blazing, only when we've had to, really. But with Rangers fire power, the long defensive game might suit, and has to be the pundits favourite. Best of luck mate, and we'll certainly take any we can get!

I am not going to worry about the tactics from Juventus, we will play to our strengths, we have 2nd place in elite and a major trophy secured already so not feeling the pressure too much for this one, saying that I would love the FA Cup in the trophy room, I expect a defensive approach or defensive Long ball combo of some sorts from Kaiser.
We have the edge in most departments and our strikers are really good so it would make sense not to use both and not go attack, so Juventus can worry about that.
Good luck mate, did I say you haven't beaten me and that I am unbeaten in cup finals ? , Just gotta set myself up for a big fall haven't I , lol.
On another note, Rangers have accepted a 70% cut in wages to help the club out during these difficult times.
