Same again for Hoops

Last updated : 13 February 2004 By Mark O' Haire
Ian Holloway is set to stick to his guns and pick the same starting X1 that defeated Notts County at home last week. That means, Nick Culkin keeping his place in goal, no new loan-signing starting in defence and Jamie Cureaton on the bench.
With no fresh injury concerns, Rangers will have to do without the services of Danny Shittu, Gareth Ainsworth, Richard Edghill and Marcus Bean. The remainder of the squad are all fighting fit and looking forward to picking up where they left off against their neighbours last time out.
Olly will go ahead with Kevin Gallen and Tony Thorpe to spearhead the attack despite Paul Furlong's excellent display when coming off the bench last week. Jamie Cureton will again start from the substitutes bench too as he is stil two or three games away from match fitness although playing in the reserves in midweek.
The game will be all the more special for Martin Rowlands. A fiery affair when the last two met, the former Bee has been singled out by Brentford fans and players after the R's win earlier in the season and will be out to prove his point. He is guarenteed a hot reception from the home fans but will get supported throughout from the mass Rangers faithfull following.
The R's have sold out the away allocation of tickets and are advised not to go unless they have a ticket.
So whether your supporting the R's or wooing your lover, we all know at Griffin Park the R's will be in for a battle of pride in West London.
Come on U R's
