ironside...is it not craig gordan

and rab was initially a fairly decent keeper and a great shot stopper. However took a pounding when celtic got beat 3-2 in the uefa cup final and never really recovered..Developed a nasty habit of letting the ball slip under/over through him for fairly easy saves and for a huge keeper is murder at cross balls. one rangers game before he went he tried to catch theball and it squirmed of him into the net...ouch Roll Eyes

confidence is a huge thing for a keeper and he lost his.

craig gordan looks the part and you ng david marshall if he can work a bit more on his angles will be a great keeper.

england look to be struggling in that dept and i dont see any great saviour coming through...which must be galling as they have had a history of great keepers.

Leicester have made an ok decision with levein but he is relying on too many players he once worked with...de vries in particular is just a bruiser and will not do for you guys over the course...

I think Kirkland, if fit, is the long term answer...extremely talented

As for Leicester, I agree...and De Vries...the less said the better

we now have Rab Douglas in goal for us, along with half of last season's Scottish league squads (Maybury, DeVries, Stephen Hughes, Hamill, Kisnorbo, Momo Sylla et cetc)

Rab Douglas is awful too, considering he is a current international goalkeeper

Rab Douglas is a pile of pish, "the boy Gordon" (wtf is that supposed to mean, anyway? Hes not a boy) is the current number 1, and with good reason. His silky skills will take Hearts to the dizzy heights of Champions league football next season.

Chris Kirkland is one of the best keepers I've seen in years, and in my mind he would be wearing the England no.1 jersey now if he hadn't been plagued by injury for nearly two seasons now. Currently on loan to get him some first team football, hopefully he will replace Dudek as Liverpools number 2 keeper behind Reina.

Yeah that was a fantastic achievement. Its been good to see the unfancied/unfashionable teams do well in the money orientated "Champions" League in the last couple of seasons.

Were you there mikky, it must have been some night especially after being 3 down to Milan at
