He's plane the lone striker role

[Clemdog 39,389]

I'm hearing that he's stucking hanging out the back of a prozzie back in the Dam.

Interesting to see greegsy on the bench any info?

[Johnny Dangerously 7,562]

I take it it's another injury. We seem to pick up more injuries off the park than we do on it.

[MasterD 7,435]

Why?

[Clemdog 39,389]

Extreme friction burn.

Mixing McGregor with Holland isn't a good idea

[rossDas 1,071]

Keeping him fresh for the league run in and giving Alexander some game time?

[JB1 26]

Must have been caught doing what shagged does best!

[joker69 60]

He must be injured very bad news last thing we need if losing our player of the season

[Guest SandyWATP]

Keeping him fresh for the league run in and giving Alexander some game time?

Aye, he must be nackered.

[Bryan72 12]

Extreme friction burn.

Mixing McGregor with Holland isn't a good idea

[MasterD 7,435]

Can't be that injured if he's on the bench

[rossDas 1,071]

Aye, he must be nackered.

To avoid injury.

[Muff 245]

Groin injury.

[supermac 115]

Groin injury.

Where did you hear that and did they say if he'd be missing for longer? He's on the bench so can't be that bad, at least we have more than adequate cover in Alexander

Alexander gets a rare start in goal due to McGregor's injury

STV.

NEIL ALEXANDER will take his place between the posts tonight on his first European outing since the 2008 UEFA Cup final.

The goalkeeper has not played in continental competition since facing Zenit at the City of Manchester stadium almost three years ago.

He steps in for Allan McGregor with one eye on the League Cup final later this month where he will again replace McGregor.

Says on BBC it's because Alexander will be playing in the cup final, so its to give him a little game time.

Happy birthday Neil (33) and myself and I'm 25 now. Let's make it a night to remember!

[Caddy 7]

I would feel much better with Shagger in the goal.

[Carsons Dog 9,878]

Emergency loan to Arsenal?

[JRodgA2k8 542]

Top Goalkeeper and have total faith in him tonight Neil helped us get to the last European Final with some solid performances so lets hope for more of the same from Mr Reliable

[Irwin Sparkes 97]

Emergency loan to Arsenal?

You can only sign a goalkeeper who plays in the same country on an emergency loan
