I don't see any reason why we need to replace Guzan as second choice. He's not perfect, but very few keepers are at that age and none of them are going to be happy being our reserve.

Should we give him a chance to start?

Hald of my family are all scottish rangers and rave about McGregor. I think realistically the best option is Foster. I don't think McGregor will leave and I certainly don't think he'll be cheaper than Foster. Would it be a fair assesment that he was one of the key players in Rangers title bid?
 I don't buy into the were skint nonsense, I think there's money avaliable

I think you're right. RL has learned lessons. We were supposed to be skintight last year and spunked 24m for Bent. I'm counting on AM to play it cool and ger us some good VFM signings.

He's never been open about his funding, I think that there's going to be a lot of players coming in but not for the money we paid on Bent. If he was going to make such a contraversal appointment he would have to back him to become a success

McGregor was vital to our title success last season mate he was one of imo 4 players who performed consistently well throughout season

his save against the big Greek tranny in last Old Firm game at Ibrox was the title winning moment in my eyes.

I remember the moment very well mate! I didn't know wether it was the defining moment because there's been so many incidents this season.
Naismiths been vital aswell hasn't he? My dad seen somewhere that there's been talk of him down at vp, I have my doubts wether he'd cut it here though tbh

Naismith started season brilliantly along with Kenny Miller then had a dip in form for a bit before finishing season superbly,
McGregor saving that penalty was vital had that went in couldn't see anyway back for us but the rest is history now they went to Inverness and bottled it thankfully.

Naismith has been linked to a few teams but don't see him leaving he is Rangers man and after an indifferent start to his Rangers career finally came of age last season, think he'd do well in premiership mate but probaly not a signing that would have fans excited.

Probably not at the moment.

But there's no reason to get rid of him at the moment.

I have a feeling the goalkeeping situation will be resolved this week. AM will want a first choice keeper in place before pre-season starts which I assume is next week.

Apparently we've asked the Premier League for special dispensation to play spot goalie next season.

I'd say there ain't much between Foster and Robinson, so either would do me. 

Given is also a very good back up option.

I'd like the Fiorentina's  Sebastian Frey, an excellent keeper that quarrelled with manager Mijhajlovic and was inserted in the transfer list.
