As title suggests Gio needs to pull the trigger on this.We seem so much more assured with big Jon between the sticks.Macgregor still has the odd wonder save up his sleave but been lacking in every other department this season.

How can you think his name is “Macgregor”?

All my energy and thought went into Mclaughlins name it was a toughy

At least we know Mclaughlin will at least try to come out for a corner...Shagger has been brilliant and a great shot stopper but time for a change as any cross ball gives me the fear.

Big decision in the cup final to make.

McLaughlin has been the cup keeper this season but the Scottish cup final could be McGregor’s last game for the club and the final one in his career.

He's never played in a Scottish Cup Final for us either.

On the bench in 02, 03 and 09 and injured in 08.

He really shouldn't.

As good a back up as you could hope to have, but he won't keep us in/win us games with 'how the fuck did he save that' saves. And that's what we need.

Mate that was a brilliant way to sum it up. 👍

[Albeartzzz 165]

Give him the league and the cup final and let Shagger play Europe. Makes sense.

[OrangeRab 2,848]

I’d choose McLaughlin going forward.

We seemed a lot less panicked playing out from the back. Playing against an aggressive press. And that filters through our whole play style.

Also much more assured from corners and crosses.

Mclaughlin much quicker footwork/coming off his line.

Mcgregor still pulls out a wonder save now and again that McLaughlin can’t. But also costs us a fair few with brain farts.

Apart from conceding a corner I thought McLaughlin handled the game very well today tbh.

[Dan Deacon 55,516]

Decent today. Didn't really get tested. Beaten with a deflection.

Claimed crosses well. Only mistake was that corner when he tried to control it on the line. 

[PromDeAnglais 5,584]

Against them yes. Europe no. Rotate between league games.

Breaks my heart that so much effort as well.

[Malkytfp1 18,655]

I really think you have to use tactics, which is strange when talking about keepers, but for teams we play against who are dangerous at set pieces then you pick McLaughlin.

Fuck forgot about that 🙈

Scottish Cup Final could well be McGregors last ever game for us so if that's the case he has to start.

[1690KWilliam 168]

IMO definitely.

The fact that it could be his last game should not be a deciding factor or any factor in whether he starts or not.  The only factor is who GVB thinks gives us a better chance of winning. 

[King Jela 20,529]

Play him in the domestic games. McGregor hasn't let us down in Europe but big Jon is perfect for the domestic side of things. 

Was superb. 

[sausagetrunks 6,058]

for me i would have JM in nets, commands his box so well takes all sorts of pressure of the defence and is not rooted to his line causing all sorts of goal mouth scrambles.  shagger has been one of the best goalkeepers to play for Rangers but for me its time to let JM in goals. 

[plymouthranger 3,897]

Think he deserves a shot at number 1 next season. Reminds me of when we had Neil Alexander, who was a different type of GK to Shagger but also got his opportunity at times. 
 

He comes off his line very well and his kicking and calmness on the ball are good. If he’s not as good a shot stopper but does those other 2 well, he’ll be more than capable domestically

[five stars 1,652]

Pros - better with the ball at his feet

           comes out for cross balls

           comes off his line for balls over the top

Cons - not as good a shot stopper  

[gmcf 34,391]

Going forward , yes . So refreshing having a goalie coming out for crosses . 

Scotland seems to play ' get the crosses in ' much more than Europe , so I'd be tempted to play McLaughlin domestically and Greegs in Europe, where his shot stopping has played a big part in our progress. 

[Big Al 55 9,281]

Dealt with couple of crosses well, other than that didn’t have a save to make, so bit difficult to judge on just that game.

[David_B 17]

We need to bed him in, might as well do it now.

[graeme_4 34,787]

McLaughlin for me. Been calling for it for most of the season. 

McGregor still has a great save in him, but he’s also a total liability. McLaughlin’s dealing with crosses was excellent, and his distribution really put us on the front foot. 

Can’t hang onto McGregor just out of loyalty.
