Charlie Nicholas believes that it is time up for Ibrox legend Allan Greegsy McGregor.

The veteran started the season demoted to second choice behind Jon McLaughlin but returned to the team for the Champions League tie at home to Napoli and has kept his place ever since.

McGregor did pull off two crucial first half saves against Hibs but was found wanting at both goals conceded, the opener coming when Ryan Porteous headed home a corner from inside the six yard box.

Micky Beale was without five crocked central defenders for the match against Hibs but it seems that the goalkeeping issue is one that will have to be addressed at Ibrox.

Covering that issue Nicholas tells Express readers:

It has been a good start for Michael Beale but once again it shows Rangers need a new No. 1. I keep going back to it, but if Allan McGregor can’t come for a cross in his six yard box then he shouldn’t be in the team.

He should have retired in the summer. I don’t think Beale can disguise the team’s defensive frailties but he did change tactics and got a result in the second half to get the win against Hibs. His defence will remain the biggest concern. Rangers should have bought another No. 1.

Liam Kelly of Motherwell has been strongly linked with a January switch to Ibrox.
