Burj_Alba Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 Think the keeper situation is getting pretty desperate. Marshall will be fighting to be Derby no 1 but definitely not guaranteed. When McGregor is fit, McLaughlin will be demoted to no 2. At best Bain is number 2 at Celtic Gordon's season doesn't start until October and will be playing championship football. Liam Kelly finished as no 2 for QPR after a few howlers towards end of season. But maybe with Warbarton taking a bigger interest in the Scotland National team he might start with him as number 1. So for the first two matches in September either got to be a call up for Alain or an elevation for McCrorie if he does well at Livi, although his replacement last week looked very good.

Not so sure that McGrrgor will get the Jersey back. Somebody mentioned Alain a couple of weeks ago and from what I could find out it appeared that he got enough satisfaction coaching kids not to bother becoming the best he could himself as a keeper. Their is an interview on YouTube and he sounds like some one who would enjoy life no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Russell's Lovechild Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Wasn't there a Spanish goalie who professed he wanted to play for us once? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Mackay Half Spanish/half Scots. Didn't even speak any English but was madly keen to play for us bless him. That would have been about 2006 or 2007 when he popped up. He's been playing deep down in the Spanish lower leagues for years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
