There's one thing that unites the Old Firm fans this weekend. All of us are looking at our goalkeepers and thinking "Hmmm". Some are probably being less tactful than that, actually !

 

Allan McGregor was dropped earlier this season because Walter Smith felt he had rushed him back from injury and his mind wasn't right. Neil Alexander came in for three games, all of which Rangers won, and was then remarkably put back on the bench after keeping a clean sheet in Rangers' 3-0 win at Easter Road, with McGregor supposedly fit and in the right frame of mind again. McGregor returned for the away defeat to St Mirren, losing a bad goal, and followed it up the following week losing another soft one away to Hamilton Academical. Question marks were asked about the soft goals we lost to Dundee United in the draw at Ibrox, and then we had yesterday's howler.

 

Meanwhile, over the city, Artur Boruc appears to be the new untouchable. He has been performing particularly poorly all season now, and yet he still gets picked. Mark Brown came in for three games while Boruc was injured, and kept two clean sheets, but was still dumped back onto the bench when The RPHG was fit again.

 

One look at the Old Firm's goals against record in the league so far this season tells the story - Celtic have conceded 17 goals in the 17 games played so far, and Rangers 14 goals in the 17 games. Neither of these stats is championship-winning form defensively.
