Michael Beale has hailed Jon McLaughlin's Rangers record per game with wins and clean sheets as 'outstanding'.
The Light Blues boss decided to hand the gloves to the former Hearts man for the victory over Dundee United at Tannadice on Sunday. The Ibrox gaffer believes it is important to show the 35-year-old he is wanted and loved at the club as he hit out at the 'narrative' surrounding the Ibrox stopper this year as a 'poor one'
Giovanni van Bronckhorst started the season with McLaughlin as his No1 before reversing his decision and returning to veteran Allan McGregor - who had been his No1 in the previous campaign that ended in a Scottish Cup win and Europa League Final appearance. But Beale has explained in depth his reason behind the goalkeeping change at the weekend. A Hampden semi-final looms with Aberdeen and another decision to be made between the sticks.
