TerryTibbs 224 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Is it time he got a chance? Not as if we can sign anyone else right now. McLaughlin got his chance and fucked it. McGregor still has a big performance/save in him but we can’t rely on him really at this stage.  At 24, and having just signed an extension, surely he’s due a shot at the jersey.

BlackpoolBear1952 390 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Think he deserves a game or two to see what he brings to the team,maybe not at weekend mind you as it's a must win for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyem 238 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I wholeheartedly agree, we should be nurturing him for a long and glorious future, McGregor has had his day and it's time for McCrorie to be trusted with the gloves for the foreseeable future.

mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 To be honest, I'm no really up for throwing McCrorie into games where he has the dynamic duo of King and Sands in front of him. Maybe wait till he has a wee bit of reliable protection Infront of him before totally destroying his confidence.

left winger 14,463 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Is he a future number 1? Maybe. Will he be much worse than the other two! Probably not. Play him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact he was lucky to get a new contract, albeit a limited one. He is not going to suddenly become young again and the same errors will be repeated. As much as we all love him, it is definitely time for new blood. JograBear and Goofy The Scot 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who do you play right now? 40 year old McGregor who was disgusting last night and poor last season or below average McLaughlin who is shite? When players don't perform they should be dropped. Mccrorie has been called upon before and has done very well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't play someone who is objectively a poorer player compared to someone else just to give them the chance. Was the same reason McLaughlin should never been given a go as number 1. McGregor was fantastic last week, and again at the weekend. Every single player was disgusting in that second half last night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your ignoring the fact McGregor was also terrible last season. He literally cost us points. Are you happy to continue with a keeper who has just conceded 7 goals in a game where he was culpable for a lot of them? How do we know he is poorer? Any time he's been in a Rangers jersey he's been good. It makes no sense to continue with a 40 year old who is inconsistent (being kind) compared to a young keeper with a future. At what stage do you draw the line for a keeper to be dropped? I'd say 7 goals conceded in one game is over that line. Also think having a 6"2 keeper potentially could help at corners whereas at the moment every team we play against knows McGregor won't come off his line and it's costing us Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I argued on here heavily when the season ended and in the summer that we needed to prioritize a new goalkeeper and spend money there so I'm not particularly happy we've had to go back to McGregor. He's still the best of the three by a distance though. It's not impossible but I highly doubt McCrorie's become a far better player not playing games than the one who played sporadically for Livi a couple of years back and he wasn't great then. .Williamson. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 54,252 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 McGregor should be the number one for now. We’ve already changed keepers once and McGregor is still the best goalkeeper at the club. McCrorie for the cup games instead of McLaughlin with an eye on him potentially getting his opportunity to become first choice next season if he plays well.

No I wouldn't drop McCrorie on the basis of one game. If it becomes a pattern and he is more consistently poor then I would. McGregor was poor during large spells of last season and cost us vital points. He was subbed on with seconds to go in a cup final to give him a send off and now he is back making the same mistakes this season. Personally I've seen enough of him. I would rather we had another option but mccrorie has just signed a new deal and should be getting played imo. falkirkNS 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
