He will be nowhere near being number 1 next season for us and only an idiot would believe so.

I don’t believe any of the 3 here will be

I'm pretty certain McGregor regrets not retiring last season and will not want to continue into next.

[BlueKnight87 17,316]

It will be mcgregor to end of season. 

Then we'll look for a new no 1.

McCrorie is in the same bracket along with Jordan Mcmillan as to why do we keep giving out a new contract but never give them a chance???

For me in the 2 games he played he deserves a run to show exactly what he's capable of, however I do see the argument that we still have a Cup to play for and McGregor needs to keep playing. 

If you read my original post, I specifically said league only

I'm not sure as to what age but McGregor was hitting mid twenties by the time he eventually got the gloves 2006 and that was because lietizi was garbage.....24 I reckon he would have been....I personally wouldn't be writing Mcrorie off on that example

Yes but McGregor was at least no2. McCrorie isn’t even challenging McLaughlin.

Can someone please tell Michael Beale that Allan McGregor is finished.

Fair. Just the thought gives me the fear though man.

If McCrorie can’t oust a 40yr old and a guy who fucked up so badly in a game against them and has never recovered, he never will. More frustratingly, why do we renew contracts if they never get game time, another waste of wages. Let the 3 of them go at end of season and start afresh.

It’s not really a waste of a wage because whether it’s McCrorie or somebody else we will probably have three keepers on the books.

I hope you're correct 

[esquire8 42,991]

Its McGregor.

McLaughlin shouldn't be seen again. McCrorie clearly not good enough to oust either at their lowest form.

Would imagine one keeper will move on and the other two will remain? 

You'd like to think McGregor will retire with the other two remaining as backup to a new number one.

And Greegs will stay No.1 for the rest of the season. 41, should be retiring and still the best at the club.

It is, there are four GKs in the squad so #3 should be Wright so it’s a waste

I think McLaughlin stays and sees his deal out tbh. We need a lot of signings this summer and signing a new number two, who is probably going to sit on the bench for about 95% of games anyway, seems like a bit of a waste of resources right now. We need to get the number one right first and focus on that.

Most clubs have three recognised senior goalkeepers though. Why would we be any different?

I was thinking that, and so long as McLaughlin is happy to stay as a backup keeper, we can do worse. 

A new no.1 is a must for the coming season.

I didn’t realise Wright was as old he is. Thought he was a lot younger than 23

Think he’s coming as close to being in the make or break position that McCrorie is. Don’t think either of them are going to make it with us.

RM was always touted as a number one but the livi loan spell didn’t show that 

[SeparateEntityMyArse 53,815]

For info, McGregor and Wright are out of contract this summer. Mclaughlin contracted to next summer, McCrorie to summer 2025. 

It mightn't be as easy as just saying get new keepers in if we can't get the latter 2 off the books.

I'd play McGregor whilst league and cups are still alive. It might be McCrorie gets the last few games either to prove his worth or put himself in a shop window. McLaughlin I don't really care if we don't see again.

Can’t see JM being here next season mate

Who would you like to see us get in mate? 

Generally speaking I want us to lower the age of the squad, but unless it’s a younger keeper with a decent amount of experience, maybe a couple of hundred games under their belt, I think i want us to go after an older, more experienced keeper. 

Obviously there would be exceptions to that, but I just think that’s what we need. Just not somebody as old as McGregor is
