It's always possible they could end up selling McGregor if Marshall is too good to displace ? We really will also need to start looking at giving one or two of younger keepers (Bain, Archer, Hamilton) some run outs in friendly matches in the next twelve months. Think Craig Gordon is finished sadly. Edited August 26, 2016 by ErsatzThistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rude Gullit Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Gordon finished? He's had a few wobbles recently but he's still quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been awful for Celtic since the turn of the New Year. Cost Celtic a couple of goals already this season. His confidence looks really low. A Scotland legend 110% and one who has saved us from total annihilation in the past but all good things must come to an end sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertsscot Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Macgregor had a few wobbles for Hull at the beginnng of last season but returned to top form and was definitely number one. I hope that this doesn't mean his injury is worse than feared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotsgary2 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Rhodes.. Knocked the goals in when in lower leagues no doubt. Move up to premier league...Dropped straight away and the move already.. And people seriously ask why he not playing up front for us ....never rated him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see where you are coming from with that but don't think that'll happen. He's got another two years left on his contract and will be 36 when that's up. I don't think he would be that attractive a proposition for Rangers at that point in his career. There's also the consideration of whether he'd fancy it himself as there is a section of the support that see him and Naismith as doing the club a bad turn by leaving without a transfer fee when they did. I don't think he'd get a universal warm welcome back. I suspect he's more likely to end up in either the MLS for the experience, China or the Middle East for some stupid last big pay day or a nice deal as an experienced backup goalkeeper in the EPL.

Interesting if he ended up there with McGregor as competition. Was always baffled he didn't get a move back to Premiership when Cardiff we're relegated. He was outstanding that season in the Prem with Cardiff, they were raving about him on MOTD every other week. Should have been in the team of the season. Didn't know if he was settled in Cardiff, kids at school there or whatever. Or maybe just loyal to them and wanted to help them get promoted again. Too good for Championship.

Put Ambrose in front of any keeper in the world and they'd have a few wobbles. I remember Leighton back in the early 90s being "finished". Playing for Dundee, throwing goals in including 6 v the Jags. Never play for Scotland again they said. Hit the best form of his life shortly after.

Rhodes didn't even get a chance this season. I'm not saying he's the answer to our problems, Strachan is the problem here. He doesn't want a goal scorer, he wants a player to hold the ball up to wait for support from players who aren't good enough to give it. Maybe we should be trying a more basic approach with the likes of Oliver Burke and Ryan Fraser running at defence with a goal scorer or two upfront like Griffiths and or Rhodes. thats probably to radical for Strachan or a minority on here but the system currently being used by Strachan and McGhee is slow, boring and it simply doesn't work.

Or, worse, Strachan will see that a change of system is probably for the best but will stick with the current one so as not to lose face.

It a shame they are both arrogant shite bags. i have zero confidence in any manager who insists on one system only or one who puts his players down or one who puts the game in this country down. i think this is his last job, he's going to feck up another campaign and lose any credibility he had left. Of course he will blame Scotland's lack of talent, he's that arrogant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
