Barry Ferguson has delivered his honest opinion on the Rangers goalkeeping situation as he hailed Malik Tillman as a game changer and a 'no-brainer' for the club to go out and buy.
Michael Beale once again rotated his goalkeepers at the weekend with Jon McLaughlin handed the gloves against Ross County despite stating that Allan McGregor is his No1. He's also expressed a desire to give Robby McCrorie some game-time when he is back fit to run the rule over the third-choice ahead of a summer of stick or twist. McGregor, 40, is likely to depart meaning the Ibrox side either need to go with what is in the building or recruit.
But Rangers hero Ferguson is NOT a fan of the rotation that is going on and believes McGregor should be the man with the gloves until the end of the campaign as he expressed his 'surprise' once again over the swap between the sticks. Speaking on Go Radio, he said: "I think it is a position you can't rotate. I'm just giving my honest opinion. He mentioned fatigue and I know goalkeepers have got to do a bit of running, but I can not see how they can be.

"For me, Allan McGregor is Rangers' number one until the end of the season. I was surprised that he made the change again but it's worked as they won.
"I know Jon McLaughlin has made a mistake at a goal, he's come out and flapped a bit at it, but they haven't lost. So it looks like he's made the right decision.
"But for me it's a position I don't like seeing a lot of rotation. If you ask professionals that are playing at this moment in time, I think most of them would agree with me."
Tillman once again popped up as he headed Rangers' crucial opener at Ibrox. He started on the bench but injury to John Lundstram meant he was involved much earlier than expected. Ferguson reckons the USA international can turn the game in an instant with that piece of magic and is improving game on game.
Fergie has urged his former club to go out and make his stay long-term from Bayern Munich labelling a potential deal as a 'no-brainer'.
He added: "He's a game changer, no doubt about it. When games are sticky and they're stuffy, he can come up with that bit of magic.
"I think he's improved in each game. "There was never any danger in his technical side of the game - brilliant feet, he can see a pass, he can score a goal - it was the other side of the game that I look at, when he loses the ball, and I've seen him a difference in him over the last four weeks.
"When he's lost possession, his first thought is, 'can I try and get that ball back', or, 'can I go and help my teammates get it back?'
"The reported fee is around the 5 million euro mark. For me, I think it's a no-brainer."
