Neil Lennon as a title winner as manager with 5 games remaining, in the 1st week of April and at the same ground where he very nearly lost his job.
With Wanyama suspended and Forrest almost definitely out, I'd go with:
1 GK Fraser Forster
2 RB Adam Matthews
25 CB Thomas Rogne
21 CB Charlie Mulgrew
3 LB Emilio Izaguirre
8 RM Scott Brown
18 CM Ki Sung-Yeung
16 CM Joe Ledley
15 LM Kris Commons
88 ST Gary Hooper
9 ST Georgios Samaras
7 Subs
24 GK Lukasz Zaluska
11 RB Cha Du-Ri
6 CB Kelvin Wilson
46 CM Dylan McGeough
20 LM Paddy McCourt
10 ST Anthony Stokes
17 ST Pawel Brozek
With that, I'd predict 3-0 with Hooper, Commons and Browny scoring, hail hail and 'We've won the league again, fly the flag, fly the flag!'
Team to beat Kilmarnock and confirm

Isn't Cha suspended?
I wouldn't give Hooper a start either, he's done nothing to warrant it over the previous few weeks..

i personally think hooper will be off in the summer.
he is definitely one of the best goal scorers weve had the last few seasons, but when a player doesnt seem interested in which would have been the crucial end to the season if it wasnt for rangers going into administration. (even if we would have been 8 points ahead, i think?) whats the point? it would be different if he was just off form and struggling for goals, but he just doesnt seem interested! and that is something no fan should put up with no matter what club you support.
and to be honest, he did the same at the end of last season, didnt he?
he recently came out and said that he wanted to score more goals than henrik, his attitude on the park shows otherwise, IMO.

California Bhoy, i see where you are coming from mate but i don't think that's the case, if you watch Hooper whenever someone scores or he scores he's always screaming in delight
Think his fitness must be in question, there are a few players who seem to struggle to last a whole season, strange one though
