'He's picked this team off Twitter' - Hibs fans react as Jack Ross makes big team selection call

Hibs fans were surprised to see manager Jack Ross make several big calls in choosing his team to face Rangers.

Jack Ross shook things up for the visit of Rangers

The head coach made three changes from the side that started against St Johnstone at Hampden with Christian Doidge coming in for the ineligible Jamie Murphy; Melker Hallberg replacing Martin Boyle, and Darren McGregor captaining the side with Paul Hanlon dropped to the bench.

Charlie Banks tweeted: “So Hanlon is droppable?”

Kayleigh Purves agreed: “About time Hanlon was benched.”

Fraser Sneddon added: “McGregor’s knees are in the mud, this game is not going to be good."

Scott Marr was concerned: “Happy to see McGregor but is he gonna be match fit? I’d rather have Boyle right wing than Cadden, too...”

Cameron Ward said: “Now that, that is something I can back. I don’t give a **** about the other ten names as long as Hanlon isn’t one of them."

Scott Junior added: “Hanlon and Boyle finally dropped, both been awful for months.”

Mikey Stewart (not that one) joked: “Hanlon and Boyle dropped and Mallan back in the squad? Jack Ross has picked this team off Twitter after Saturday!"

Scott Kettles predicted: “Big night ahead for Jack Ross."

John Joseph Friary wasn't feeling too positive: “Not confident but a point would be good!”

Steven Bell tweeted: “It’s sad when you’re happy about a centre back who’s past it replacing one who should still be able to do a job.”

Nick Hall said: “That team v the subs plus a couple of the young lads would be a good game.”

Isla Smith wanted to know: “Marciano again... what did Macey do to get dropped?”
