Do Aberdeen really raise their game for Rangers and who replaces Malky Mackay at Ross County? Saturday Jury

David McCarthy: Clearly, Lawrence Shankland has done himself no harm. In fact, there’s an argument for him being the most natural finisher at Clarke’s disposal. If Craig Gordon gets fit he’ll be in. Ben Doak may float into his thinking but I don’t think he’ll veer too far from his usual squad.

Fraser Wilson: The obvious one is Shankland. Get the Hearts man on form and he’s potentially our deadliest striker. Kenny McLean provided a spark in midfield when he was introduced at half-time too.

Michael Gannon: It's too early to say. Shankland has boosted his hopes but form can fluctuate and the maybes will need to be firing after the New Year and there could be players coming in from nowhere.

David: Best chance lies with Barnes, who is miles off an England call-up. Gray’s family connections may sway him also but I reckon the three others fancy the Three Lions more than the Lion Rampant.

Fraser:Steve Clarke has proved pretty crafty at choosing the right time to make his move. Gordon is sure to get a Three Lions call soon but Livramento has so much talent in front of him in an England shirt that he could well be tempted north. Gray’s family could work in our favour too.

Michael: I don't like the idea of twisting arms to play for national teams. Ask the question and if there’s humming and hawing then move on. If they have a change in heart down the line, then let them do the running.

Fraser: Absolute garbage. Aberdeen went 26 years without a
