With only seven games left our guests are marooned at the bottom of the table, nine points adrift.
Anything less than a win will also kill off the slim chance we have of finishing in the top half of the table. We will need some sort of positive result at Ibrox to do so but before we contemplate that miracle it is important we focus fully on John Robertson's side.
In the earlier matches between the sides we triumphed by 1-0 and 2-1 but neither performance was entirely convincing. We have pretty much our full squad to choose from now with even Scott Leitch coming back into contention. However it is unlikely that Terry will change much from the tried and tested lads who have performed for most of the season. It is surely certain though that we will revert back to a 4-4-2 with another striker – Hamilton, presumably – joining Scott McDonald in the attack.
The two other potential changes to be made must be in goal and in midfield. Colin Meldrum, depending on how you view things, has been okay in deputising but with a fully fit Graeme Smith knocking on the door it would seem a foolhardy decision to keep him out.
