• Bristol 3-0 up so we are going to need 4 to go top at the moment :-)

• Montrose biggest home attendance: 8,983 v Dundee, 17 March 1973, Scottish Cup.
  
  Not a lot of people know that.

• Clyde have had a home attendance of 52,000. Cowdenbeath once submitted plans to expand capacity to 80,000... it never came to fruition. Not sure how often it would have been full, tbh.

• I think I'd play gabby and hogan today. Both options as lone striker have real flaws (scoring and hold up play respectively)
  
  That might mean Thor on the left so we can go 451 if needed

  That's bonkers. Their record is 25k and that was back in 1949.

• It was Rangers. Most likely they outnumbered us heavily.

• So gabby and hogan. And Bacuna
  
  No green or hourihane
  
  I'm guessing either gabby left and Bacuna behind hogan
  
  Or vice versa (w gabby closer to hogan)
  
  Maybe switch a bit during the game

  Their chances of getting through the group.
  
  Self explanatory really.
