I'm not sure where Rangers are going to get their goals from now that Jelavic has gone and he wasnt replaced. I know that he didnt play last weekend, but that was against Hibs and we know that United put up a good fight at Ibrox. I will go with my blue tinted specs and still predict a home win, but I just dont know where the goals are coming from.

Where they always come from, the referee.
Seriously, it's a good question - but if Healy's run in the team lets him get back to the player he was a few years ago then that might be the answer. Remember him? The one who could score against Spain?!

David Healy's club form has rarely lived up to his international performances.
He was decent enough in the Championship, and I remember him having a few good games for Leeds. But he never really performed in the top flight, and hasn't ever convinced me at club level on a consistent basis.
Maybe this is his time to shine though! SPL could be his ideal level.
I'll paint this place maroon!

Well as a Bluenose ave got to go for the Rangers haven't ah. Utd will give a good performance but ah expect the Gers to slip through. Healey seems to be the only option up front at the moment...unless Aluko is paired there again wi him.....2-0 Rangers.

Have to say i quite agree, i think it is a bit of a myth that Healy is an out and out goal scorer as his record is pretty poor. Granted he has an excellent record at International level which is very impressive considering he plays for Northern Ireland, look at our own record goal scorer for Scotland King Kenny & Dennis Law who played in far superior teams than Healy did, so he must have something to offer.
As Laurie pointed out the SPL may just be his level, he has been getting a consistent run of games recently and has managed to put a few in the net so perhaps we have yet to see the best of him in a Rangers jersey....fingers crossed.

Like to see Celi Mervan getting a start maybe just behind Healy . As has been said we may struggle for goals but we have been struggling for goals for weeks apart from last weekend . Wouldn't mind seeing Kerkar getting a start out on the left too . Playing Wallace out there isn't working and if McCoist wants to play him it should be at left back . Or perhaps we will see Cel Mervan in the middle wit Davis and Edu shipped out to the right 
and Aluko up front with Healy .

Is Celik not a winger?

Celik may well be JB . But Mervan's a midfield dynamo , or a star striker or he may even end up at right back the way things are going .

Ortiz was apparently good at right back or right midfield. Ally played him on the left of midfield

Aye, it's not rocket science that players play well in their best position. McCoist doesn't seem to agree though.
