Stu1993 101 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 From Lindsay Herron in SydneyALLAN McGREGOR has revealed his gratitude to Craig Levein for giving him another chance with Scotland and the Rangers star is odds-on to be back in the fold next month.Regular No1 Craig Gordon is out for three months after breaking his arm and McGregor seems the obvious choice to face Sweden on August 11 in a friendly and a good performance will guarantee him the gloves for the Euro 2012 double header against Lichtenstein and Lithuania in September.McGregor, of course, had been banned by the SFA along with Barry Ferguson in the wake of Boozegate and he appreciates Levein bringing him back.Speaking to Blues News Down Under said: "It was good that Craig Levein indicated that he wanted me back. He came to Murray Park soon after he took over and spoke to a few of the lads and we all liked what we heard."I obviously know that Craig is injured and that's disappointing for him. First of all I have to be picked but I obviously hope that I can get into the team."That's not a given because Marsh (David Marshall) did really well last season at Cardiff so I can't expect just to walk in."There are some big games coming up and I would like to be part of them but I realise that there is competition for the position."I believe McGregor has became a better player and person after the boozegate thing, and it was interesting reading what Goram had to say about him the other day.

dotty_84 0 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Common senese rules as he and Gordon are the two best keepers Scotland has. Well done Levein. Just stop playing the Caldwells and Alexander and we have a chance to qualify Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD 7,447 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Hopefully if he plays well for Scotland he keeps the jersey, it would be shite if Gordon came back and got the number 1 spot again, which i think he will Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,622 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 A better keeper than Gordon who always seems prone to dropping the ball.As long as Scotland dont use that Fanny Marshall i'm happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooper1989 0 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Gordon has had some great games for Scotland -- must be said. But as I've said in other posts about Greegs, he saves the impossible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee9 3,997 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Good to hear levein is willing to put this shit to bed now and play mcgregor! Some of the comment after the boozegate scandal were a disgrace towards shagger! A fantastic keeper who for me should be scotlands no1 period!
