Who should be between the sticks this weekend?

[BR_54 15]

Voted McGregor.

Disagree with the "winning formula" comment though.

It wasn't down to McGregor that we grabbed a last minute penalty winner.

Though I do believe he is technically the better goalkeeper

[ice 108]

Alexander should've started the season as number one but McGregor has it now and I would give him the Hamilton game this weekend.

I think this also..

Alexander, as it should have been anyway.

Should have been alexander last week but was not. As Walter has opted for McGregor he has to stick with him for at least a few games as to not, would be seen as knee jerk reaction.

[durranty 24]

alexander should never have been dropped ,but walter wont drop mcgregor after just 1 mistake but he better not make anymore in the next few games.

[FieldMarshall85 16]

Alexander has never put a foot wrong at Rangers and has never let anyone down, he should never have been dropped in the first place.

I wish we could fuse them both for the ultimate goalie

Without McGregor's cock up and brilliant save, it would still have been a Hearts goal. Alexander wouldn't have saved that, but he wouldn't have made that mess either.

I'd like to stick with McGregor - remember he's been out the first team for a while and needs time to get form back. Even the best goalkeepers lose form - Casillas, Buffon, Dida, and Cech have all had spells of poor displays.

Danny, how do you know Alexander would not have made the first mistake, and would not have saved the one Shagger did? It's simple. You don't.

Well the fact he's made few or no mistakes in around 30 appearances for us but hasn't made any Hollywood saves either suggests I am using history as an example of what he is capable of.

I'd say he hasn't really been called on to make the Hollywood saves,as he has a better understanding with his defence,hence less f#ck ups at the back.

Also his ditribution(I know we agree on this) is truely diabolical,punt up the middle 99% of the time,turn over rate about 80%.

Maybe Walter is actually showcasing him.

alexander for me, he should never hav been dropped in the first place

Seconded. He'd come in and done a stand-out job for McGregor twice in two seasons, showing class and talent that a lot of us didn't expect to see, and he still can't get a break. McGregor was at fault for the goal and I reckon Alex would have saved it. Can't afford to give away stupid goals this season.

[WilliamFyfe 1,438]

I say it all the time on here and I'll say it again.

I can't stand McGregor and want him sold. Bring back Alexander

[RON7736 3]

You can't drop a keeper for a mistake like that......

Why the fake was Alexander DROPPED youre no making sense wee man.

Alexander was dropped after all he has done over last TWO season made saves in both league cup final and uefa semi and you defend Shagger for that abortion on sunday away ya go

[Chambo 197]

Alexander should be in but MacGregor will be.

I'm sure the save MacGregor made will redeem the mistake in Walters eyes!

Couldn't agree more - The Edinburgh Ned is quite simply an embarassment to the club. NA on the other hand is a true professional, a great ambassador and, most importantly, a good keeper to boot.

[Dado 334]

McGregor's confidence and value would plummet if he was dropped again, for those reasons Smith will probably keep him between the sticks.

[Bluenose_Pete 4]

Stick with McGregor.

2 games in to the season.... 6 goals in our favour and 2 against us. Sure AMc has started a bit rusty... but i'd like to give him another couple of games and see if he can pick up the slack.

[Scott-No-Surrender 0]

Stick with McGregor fair enough he was at fault for the Hearts goal but he did make up for it in my opinion, i also think it's good to keep a goalkeeper and back 4 basically the same as they have more understanding when the play regurarlly together.. rather than this chopping and changing nonsense (he's also in my Scottish Sun Dream Team

[Muff 245]

It doesn't matter, Allan McGregor will be in the goals.

[J_RFC87 761]

My opinion of Smith is like a roller coaster, and it will head back down again if he keeps McGregor there this week!

[HighlandBear 1]

Gregg's.

For the reason he is the better keeper, it's a close call but McGregor takes it.

[SuperRangers 2]

Shagger.

So you wouldn't have had our Oldham Ned in goal during our 9IAR going by that?

Aparrently you can, especially when you drop Alexander for making no mistakes like that

[JR 1,480]

The poll shows show interesting results...

[allistera 10]

I'd like to see Alexander start for a change.

[scott316 2]

at the end of the day, McGregor will start, and it isn't about who's the most inform goalkeeper.

its the fact that Alexander will never be a £5m goalkeeper, whilst McGregor playing consistently could command such a fee, so it would be crazy to drop him. They are looking to improve McGregor's value for a potential sale within the current deadline or to sell in January, bottom line.

we know Alexander is plenty good enough to be our number 1, so it makes perfect sense.

I agree this situation is most probably influenced by his future sale tag. However, regardless of potential value I still believe it's a disgrace that Alexander didn't start the season. An exemplary professional who has barely put a foot wrong when called upon. Unlike his counterpart who re-inforces my opinion of him on a weekly basis. His arse collapses whenever he has to execute a punch and his good 'shot stopping' ability is debateable after Tynecastle. The 'better keeper' arguement is wearing thin now and I wouldn't blame Alexander if he handed in a transfer request as seeing that wee tadger McGregor get a game before him must be soul destroying!
