Edu is benched in favor of Lee McCulloch, probably due to his mediocre play in the opening two SPL matches. Rangers: McGregor, Whittaker, Weir, Bougherra, Papac, Weiss, McCulloch, Davis, Naismith, Miller, Beattie. Subs: Alexander, Broadfoot, Edu, Jelavic, McMillan, Little, Hutton. St Johnstone: Smith, Maybury, Rutkiewicz, Duberry, Grainger, Anderson, Davidson, Morris, Millar, Samuel, Haber. Subs: Enckelman, Gartland, Caddis, Taylor, Dobie, Parkin, May.
Has Edu been poor? I had thought I read reports that he was just ok offensively while quite good defensively.
Well McCulloch was unavailable for the prior two matches. I'm hoping this doesn't suggest that Smith simply prefers McCulloch in the middle over Edu.
