Just seen another comment blaming MacGregor in part for Jotas goal in old firm game. I get MacGregor is slower but the guy is 40 and some people expecting him to win a footrace with a winger in his twenties. If you actually watch the goal, MacGregor does his job by forcing Jota wide. It's Souttar who makes two mistakes. The 1st is his passback and the 2nd is his reaction. He jogs back and only when Jota is round MacGregor and gets his shot off does he run fast to try catch the ball If he reacts as soon as balls left his foot I think he covers the line and clears the ball because MacGregor puts Jota wide.

We shouldn't have a 40yr old goalie trying to win a foot race. Both of them were at fault.

A 40 year old with arthritis! The whole situation was a colossal sh#t show, and a farce!

This love in with McGregor is beyond pathetic - he is paid to do a job and he is struggling just like our No2.

Souttar made the error and should have reacted faster but probably thought like me that McGregor would have had enough time to make the clearance.

Reality is that McGregor should have retired last year (if not before) but for whatever reason was needed (and wanted) to stay on because we did not sign a replacement.

It was Souttar’s fault I don’t think anyone is doubting that I think the point people are making is that if we had a younger goalkeeper they probably could have bailed Souttar out by being quicker.

Souter is just back and made a mistake and if Goldson was fit wouldn’t have started, McGregor is to old and was to slow. However if it was McCorrie it was out the park.

If you are using age as an excuse for one of his frailties then he shouldn't be anywhere near the Rangers goal.

Nobody is using his age as any excuse.
As much as I love McGregor, and in my opinion, is only behind Goram when it comes to our greatest ever keepers, he should never have been in that position in the first place! There was a colossal balls up when we never brought in a new keeper to replace him, and the dud, Mclaughlin. We only have ourselves to blame! Another reason why I believe RW was a failure!

Our under 21 goalie wouldn’t have done anything different. I would think we will bring in a new goalie in the summer though.

Check the OP's post again, BigBen.
He said:-

Not like you to misread?.

John Soutter's fault 110%.

It’s interesting that’s it’s just Souttars fault. Ryan Jack gives him a hospital pass which should never have been played to him, the ball should have been played forward. Souttar should have dealt with it better but it should never have gone to him with Celtic players bearing down on him in the first place. Souttar looked decent until that moment considering the game time he has had and the occasion. He stays fit and he’s first pick in the centre.

I know what the post said, MPH, so what are you on about? My point is that this situation should never have happened If we had replaced McGregor like we needed to. Just having a 40 year old in goals, who is riddled with arthritis, is asking for trouble.
FGS, it's not hard to decipher what my post was stating. Try reading it right! ?.

Souttar fault no one else’s.

Jotas fault for being too fast.

Agree the situation with the goalies is bizarre.
McGregor in two stints with the club has been a great goalie for us, last season you could see the frailties coming into his game and costing us goals.
Start of last season we should have brought in a goalie.
McLaughlin gets the nod performed poorly then we replace him with the goalie that was already way past his best.
Don’t really know the situation with McCrorie and now he’s injured.
Not good.

Your first line says:-

And yet the OP was blaming his age,

Sorry MPH, I thought that was meant for me, nor OP. So I did read it wrong! Doh! You know me, I'll always own my balls up! ?.
