Alex broke his big toe in a reserve game last week and will be out for two or three weeks, |
All the players worked very hard tonight and I must give them a lot of credit. |
And we will make our minds up nearer kick off. |
At least that's a target. |
Barry broke his nose and he is having a bit of trouble breathing. We know that we need all our best players for this weekend because this is a really hard game and it's an important game. But we feel we can cover the loss of Ferguson. |
Barry Ferguson and Ian Murray were then pushing on from midfield and we thought at 2-2 with eleven against eleven there was only going to be one winner. But sadly we will never know. |
Barry is going to join up with the squad and I hope he's all right for Walter Smith's sake and for the Scottish national team. |
Barry is struggling with a bad ankle injury and that will be a huge blow for us, |
But because of one mistake in I don't know how many games, would be harsh. |
But I like to think the players we have can rise to that challenge. |
But, as you can see from his goal, he can be a poacher as well and he is pushing that little bit harder to get into the team. |
Everyone is delighted for Marvin. He knows at this club it's every single week that the demands are on you to perform - and he's stood up to that. |
Fernando will now be brought back into the squad. We can rely on his experience. He has played in every round and is available to us. |
Franny is a major doubt for the match. |
He did it with us at Aberdeen a long time before that. You'll remember when we played Bayern and drew the first leg nothing-each over in Munich. He told us that, whatever happened in the return, we had to score. If the Germans got a goal, that didn't change anything. Well, you know what happened that night, don't you? |
