Rangers fans discuss prospect of Wes Foderingham starting next two games

Rangers will play the next two matches with Wes Foderingham in goal.

Wes Foderingham of Rangers looks on during the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership match between Rangers FC and Celtic FC at Ibrox Stadium on September 23, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor was unsuccessful in his appeal against a ban for a ‘kick’ against Aberdeen.

BBC Sport report McGregor now faces a two game ban, meaning Wes Foderingham will fill in.

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard confirmed at his press conference this morning that it will be Foderingham who gets the nod.

️SG: Wes will play tomorrow, we have full trust in him as he plays at a high standard. We benefit from having two number 1’s.

Foderingham is Rangers’ number two, after three seasons being the Ibrox side’s first choice goalkeeper.

Fans are split on Foderingham coming in, with some worried about whether he will be able to replicate McGregor’s form.

Others are more positive, commenting that Rangers are ‘very lucky’ to have a player of Foderingham’s quality ready to step in.

Foderingham will play at home to St Johnstone this weekend in the league, and then at Ibrox again versus Kilmarnock in the upcoming Scottish Cup replay.

Looking forward to seeing big @wes_foderingham back between the sticks for Rangers in the upcoming games. We are very lucky to have two absolutely outstanding goalkeepers

Other teams losing their GK would be devastating, quite simply it won’t affect us much if at all.

All the best on Saturday @wes_foderingham . It’s a privilege to have a keeper of your class as back- up. Just unfortunate for yourself that Shagger has been in magnificent form. Good luck #keepitclean

Hope Wes Foderingham plays a blinder at the weekend. Too many people have short memories. Just because Allan McGregor is back, they forget how good Fod is. Overall, very calm and reliable.
