Muff 245 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 NEIL ALEXANDER has reiterated his desire to remain at Rangers - and admits he'd love to finish his career at Ibrox. The goalkeeper was reported today as being on the verge of quitting the club next month because of a lack of first-team opportunities after he spoke to the press on Saturday. But he insists nothing could be further from the truth and he's desperate to stay with the Light Blues and fight for a place in Walter Smith's team. Alexander concedes he would have to reassess his options if he was unable to displace Allan McGregor from the team. But he's adamant that doesn't translate into a wish to move on and he'd far rather be in Glasgow for the long term. Alexander said: "I was a bit disappointed with some of the headlines I saw this morning although most of the articles themselves were fine. "One of the reporters said something to me which I took as a joke so I laughed about it and made a comment which has been taken as a quote. "I'm not the type to take anything out on my wife or kids as has been suggested and people who know me appreciate that. My home life and football are separate. "I'm very keen to stay at Rangers and I have absolutely no desire to leave whatsoever. I'd love to stay here for the rest of my career if possible. "I'm obviously at an age where I'd like to be playing first-team football and that's the point I was trying to get across when I spoke a couple of days ago. "I've been fortunate to play in more games than I expected to when I signed and I've won a lot of silverware. "I'm very grateful for those opportunities and it would be great to stay here with Rangers and win more." http://www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk/article...2254024_1904730 :clap: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuartM6 279 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Alexander is a model professional. Got nothing but admiration for the way he conducts himself Saw that sky sports yesterday were saying he wanted to leave. Funny how all the mhedia seem to be trying to sell our players. eg, i heared charlie nick () say that bougie is such a fantastic player that he shud be snapped up as soon as possible as rangers need the money.

Amac9 2,060 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Good news. Some people take Neil Alexander for granted because we have Allan McGregor but we are extremely lucky to have, IMO, the two best GK in Scotland. Neil Alexander has never let Rangers down. A top class professional and someone who I would have no problem with stepping in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbm26896 995 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Alexander is a top keeper - hopefully we can keep him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueIsTheColour 35 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Wait, so the tabloids twisted his words? Shock fucking horror. A gentleman and a true proffessional is Neil Alexander, and a fantastic stand-in for McGregor. Having two very good goalkeepers always help to avid complacency.

Boab 73 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I didn't twist his words in my thread title with that interview, if someone else had posted his interview then I could imagine they may have just posted that paper's headline I agree with other Neil Comments, a good and an excellent Goalie.

demise 3,718 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Big Neil Role model for some other players... The UEFA Cup final and that Liverani penalty are probably the best moment of his career, so i hope he`ll stay till the end and win some more trophies with Rangers.

Muff 245 Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 He was superb tonight. Once again never let us down. The only thing that annoyed me about him was when he failed to spot Naismith bursting down the right, after he game him a shout for about 20 seconds, but that's me just being nit-picky. His handling, organisation, and distribution was outstanding. Once again he put's in a terrific performance, and another clean sheet for him and the team. Model professional, cracking keeper, and I hope he remain's at the club for the rest of his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
