Barry Ferguson has highlighted the Rangers selection 'mistake' Michael Beale might look back on as he tipped Allan McGregor to go for another year.
The Light Blues hero watched on as Celtic lifted the League Cup at Hampden on Sunday following a 2-1 win over his former side. It was a first defeat for the new boss since taking over from Giovanni van Bronckhorst with Kyogo Furuhashi the hero on the day for Ange Postecoglou's men with a close-range double.
Veteran stopper McGregor was called upon to make a couple of smart saves in the first period and he kept the score down as Rangers chased a leveller late on. That has convinced Fergie that the 41-year-old can go another 12 months hailing him as a 'solid, reliable and a top class goalkeeper'. One decision that Ferguson believes may play on the mind of Beale is the one to go without Nicolas Raskin from the start at the national stadium. His omission from the starting team was a 'surprise' but admits the better side won on the day and there is no excuses.
