TopCat 4,511 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 He won a European trophy with the club - that makes him a legend in my eyes........... though he probably wasn't as good as the likes of Goram, Klos or McGregor........ there's no shame in that as they were/are all top class keepers.

Know what it was that long since I looked at his stats, perhaps an old Rangers news, for some reason I thought it was one cap, perhaps his only competitive match or start?

Misteral 2,932 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 IIRC, I was happy with big Peter in goals at least over his peers in Scotland at the time. Overall, solid with a great kick out and some mad moments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcgill 31 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 The Gas Meter was a bit of a mixed bag in his time with us. A great servant to the club but an ordinary keeper who surprisingly enough saw off every challenge to his reign until Chris Woods signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here he is in the infamous Queens Park Green Jersey escapade walking on to the pitch in that game. The Scotland strip was dark blue, obviously, with the GK jersey yellow, but he couldn't wear it as Brazil were in yellow, he couldn't wear the Scotland change GK jersey as it was red but the ref and linesmen were in red as they couldn't wear black because it clashed with the Scotland strip so the only solution was to borrow a green GK jersey from Queens Park resplendent with the big Queens Park badge. There are many times mate . I wish he had been a beggar keeper for the amount of time he was with us Good post though . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it was his fault all the time .Hands on head if you like The defence that day with Frank Munro in the team were shocking . McCloy was swinging on the bar in a Scottish cup final in 1978 against the sheep . If you ever seen this goal . You would think wtf .

McCloy played in treble winning sides and he was so tall , he commanded the balls getting punted into the box . A style that was prevalent in those days . On the deck , he was truly tragic and very often slow getting down I remember Ronnie Glavin scoring from 30/40 yards against him, where the ball went under his body as he fell down like an elephant . Another we lost 2-0 77/78 He was a golfer , not an athlete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lerxst 99 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 6ft 4" and took him 6 month to get down to save , grew up with him and Stewart Kennedy who kept him out of the first team in the seventies which says it all , played 10 yrs TOO long.Remembering how bad he was . Jim Stewart took over from him thankfully although we just didn't have a good keeper until the likes of Chris woods then Goram. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
