Glasgow Rangers manager Steven Gerrard says he does not know his first-choice Ibrox goalkeeper.
Wes Foderingham was the first-choice goalkeeper at Rangers last season, but the 27-year-old will face competition from Allan McGregor.
McGregor, who started his professional club football career at Rangers, returned to Ibrox in the summer transfer window as a free agent.
Then there is Jak Alnwick, the 26-year-old former Newcastle United goalkeeper who moved to Rangers in January 2017.
Rangers manager Gerrard has admitted that he has not decided who his first-choice goalkeeper at Ibrox will be next season.
Gerrard told The Scottish Sun: “I don’t have a number one, two or three. I have three excellent goalkeepers with decent experience.
“But somewhere down the line one of them isn’t going to be happy. There’s nothing I can do about that.
“At some point, one of them won’t be around because three top goalies don’t go into one position. Unfortunately I’m going to have to make a difficult decision.”
Decision time for Wes Foderingham?
Foderingham did not start Rangers’ pre-season friendly match against Bury on Friday evening, McGregor did – and it should concern the 27-year-old.
The 36-year-old is a hugely experienced footballer, and it is very likely that he will start the season as the first-choice goalkeeper.
Foderingham could fall down the pecking order, and Gerrard’s admission that he does not know who his first-choice custodian is should concern the former Swindon Town star.
According to The Scottish Daily Star (print edition, page 47, July 5, 2018), Championship club Aston Villa and Ipswich Town are interested in signing Foderingham in the summer transfer window (click here to read more), and maybe the goalkeeper should seriously consider his future.
