Fair enough but I think we'd be better keeping him, letting AMcG go / JMcL No.1. I don't think AMcG would be good back up. He either plays or goes (for me) and given his weakness at set plays isn't going to improve, he should go. I don't see him being suited to coaching either but that is just a hunch. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what way is he like Ritchie? in my day I think Ritchie had just taken over from George Niven if memory serves? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penalties, maybe but that is just a notion with no statistics. He has saved quite a lot of penalties over the years, including the hugely important save from Samaras, that opened a door to a league title. However, the two penalty shootouts I can remember him being involved in, the opposition scored 9 from 9 (St.Johnstone and Eintracht).

the gunslinger 3,366 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I just think a full season somewhere is going to be more productive than the bench at rangers. Was for McGregor. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a physical resemblance but that means nothing and I’ve only seen him on the telly in a euro match as third pick. He looked calm and solid and offered nothing spectacular. That was Ritchie’s style. You rarely saw him flying about the goal which I think is down to judgement and positioning similar to Niven before him. He must have made howling mistakes but I don’t remember them. He and Niven had solid defences in front of them which helps. @compowill be a better judge.

Imo better not to have a goalkeeper (even on the bench) whose best days are behind him. His weakness at set-plays will cost goals. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, Davis, Arfield and McGregor will all be well aware they're not going to be first choice. Despite his faults, I'd rather McGregor was pushing/supporting the likes of McLaughlin and McCrorie than a Siegrist that's for sure. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
