It's utterly irrelevant whether Ranger is top of the league or in Europe, this is about Scotland not some random team. He's such a good player that he's had about as many appearances than the number of months he's been at the club.

I mean that doesn't necessarily change the point I made. McGregor is a good keeper btw, as much as it disappoints me to admit that. McLaughlin is not. He's not terrible but like Clark, I fail to see the reason for his inclusion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no ifs and buts here,he also has the best goalie in Scotland in front off him,are you trying to say he wouldn't played against Celtic if he never had covid? Off course he would have and he will play a lot off games in the cup and league when old Alan takes a rest McLaughin will always be fresh for Scotland,it isn't like he is a outfield player like Patterson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I suppose, although the fact he is our best is quite the damning indictment. Kelly was outstanding against us, but can't say if that form has been consistent. As I say, Clark might be in that list, but not for me as I've never seen him do anything that warrants his inclusion, but, again, like Samson's call up, I'm not complaining. Gordon and Kelly? You are not complaining but can't understand his call up when we have no other decent goalkeepers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s difficult to justify a claim that a player is consistently on the bench when he’s playing >50% of his domestic games. McLaughlin is fine. He won’t pull up any trees, or pull off saves out of nowhere, but he won’t let in soft goals either. That’s an upgrade over every keeper available to Scotland bar Gordon. Plus he can kick the ball, which Gordon can’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really disagree with that other than the final assertion. Just don't see it as an upgrade. Old, not getting regular games, not first choice at his own club, and certainly not a player "for the future". Obviously, it's Clarke's decision, he'll see these guys in training, I don't. That and he'll have a far better idea of what is needed than I will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kelly was any good he would still be at both the Rangers he isn't,he is where he should be though at a team where he can improve and be the main man I like him but he isn't good enough to play at any other level constintanly yet unless it's the SPL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to be upset that I asked you to name 3 goalkeepers and you only managed 2. I'm not overly fussed if Clark is in the squad or not but I feel we don't have any goalkeepers who are better than we currently have in the squad. That will be that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really are a bit of a novice at this sort of stuff. Here's a tip for later, if you are to accuse people of being upset, maybe not go around crying that people had edited posts to make you look bad. Ultimately I couldn't care who Clarke picks, but I have an opinion. It's not like they are keeping St Mirren players out of the team. Although I'd wager Alnwick is a better keeper than both Clark and McLaughlin, albeit his form this year hasn't been great and in turn there's the sticky problem that he's English. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am beginning to see a pattern here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
