THE inspired performance that Robby McCrorie produced against Celtic at Ibrox last season in just his second start for Rangers underlined why so many in Scottish football had predicted that great things lay ahead for the young goalkeeper.
McCrorie was only involved in the cinch Premiership encounter with the Parkhead club in August because there had been a Covid-19 outbreak in the squad and both Allan McGregor and Jon McLaughlin were unavailable.
But the 23-year-old, whose previous first team appearance had come against Alashkert in the second leg of the Europa League play-off in Armenia a few days earlier, pulled off two vital saves from the visitors’ new £4.6m striker Kyogo Furuhashi in the second-half and helped his side to record a narrow 1-0 win.
