GUNNING FOR HIM

Rangers eye Angus Gunn as new No1 after goalkeeper axed by Norwich City boss David Wagner

Alan Nixon

RANGERS are tracking Angus Gunn as they look for a new No 1.

Gers sporting director Ross Wilson knows Gunn from his time at Southampton.

The keeper was axed by new Norwich manager David Wagner when he took charge.

The 27-year-old could head north in the summer as Gers look to sign someone to replace Allan McGregor — who is in line for a recall for their Scottish Cup fifth round clash with Partick Thistle.

McGregor has been rotated with Jon McLaughlin in recent weeks, while Gers boss Michael Beale has indicated Robby McCrorie will get a chance before the end of the season.

Gunn could also put himself in the frame for the Scotland team as he is open to playing for the land of his father Bryan after previously turning out for England youth teams.

If he's anything like his da, no thanks

 

[bLuE PirAtE]

Any relation to Bryan Gunn ?
(oh and cue the gun jokes)

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

da was a bomb scare

 

[Madjid Moments]

Turned down Scotland to chase England. A positive for me as he won’t play international football.

Father and Son

 

[MainStandLoyal]

Turned down Scotland to chase England. A positive for me as he won’t play international football.

And he’s already been in contact with Clarke about playing for Scotland so I wouldn’t be too sure about that.

 

[Shawlands_Bluenose]

Was certainly a promising keeper when he broke through but his career seems to have stood still for the past few seasons

 

[Gaz9]

Gunn would be a great shout

 

[Clay Davis]

Southampton spent about £10m on him 5 years ago but he didn’t seem to have a great time there.

 

[Funkhouser]

A natural successor to McGregor then. He's been standing still for about two years.

 

[Barrymoped]

I’m not entirely sure a guy not deemed good enough at Norwich is the best fit to replace one of our greatest goalkeepers ever.

 

[cambridgeblue]

An article of nothing.

 

[Bouncebackability]

When was the last time we bought a no1 keeper in the top flight? (McGregors return aside)

Klos?

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

I’m not entirely sure a guy not deemed good enough at Norwich is the best fit to replace one of our greatest goalkeepers ever.

A guy not good enough for Wigan lifted 55 and reached a Europa League final, scoring in near enough every game on the way from right back. It's a case of right player, right team, right club, right time for a lot of them.

 

[Clay Davis]

Klos?

Letizi?

 

[SDF]

I’m not entirely sure a guy not deemed good enough at Norwich is the best fit to replace one of our greatest goalkeepers ever.

When McGregor came back he was 36 and had just finished 18th out of 24 teams in the Championship with Hull.

And I love McGregor BTW.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Letizi was brought in to be number one before being average on his good days and McGregor taking over.

 

[Family bam]

If I had a Tommy Gunn , I'd shoot every.............

 

[cav]

Nope.

 

[Northampton Lodger]

Right age , tall but apart from that I wouldn’t recognise him if he knocked on my door in the morning.

 

[TheHistorian]

Gunn would be a great shout

Worth a shot?

 

[ChildOfGoth]

Same height as Joe Hart and we could probably be doing with a taller goalie what’s he like with the ball at his feet and passing ?

 

[Barrymoped]

When McGregor came back he was 36 and had just finished 18th out of 24 teams in the Championship with Hull.

And I love McGregor BTW.

While this is absolutely correct, he had already proven himself as a club legend, and was clearly a guy who thrived in a certain environment, ie ours.

In the case of Gunn, he hasn’t proven himself anywhere, I’d personally prefer us to look elsewhere

 

[Camby loyalist]

He is a decent keeper, leave it with me i will see if there is interest lol

 

[CaptainCourageous]

A 6ft 5” keeper who cannot command his area, doesn’t like to come off his line, slated for being too slow down to his left and right, error prone.

 

[RotterdamBear]

Compared with what we have he would be a hell of an upgrade no question

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Compared with what we have he would be a hell of an upgrade no question

That’s not really saying much.

 

[Stockport bear]

Decent keeper and the next Scottish number 1. Makes a lot of sense

 

[TheHistorian]

I’m not entirely sure a guy not deemed good enough at Norwich is the best fit to replace one of our greatest goalkeepers ever.

Cantwell was allegedly not good enough for Norwich either.

 

[Blue Phoenix]

da was a bomb scare

Ah well. That’s that then.

 

[RotterdamBear]

That’s not really saying much.

Yes it really is a sad state of affairs

 

[Austin says Ibrox Baby]

If we don’t sign him, bullet dodged!

 

[lacoste12]

So going by the replies it’s mibyees aye mibyees naw…
We have had players from same/worse leagues & managed to win leagues,cups & been to European finals with them.. don’t let us look down our collective nose at every player who might be seen as a step backwards.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Decent keeper and the next Scottish number 1. Makes a lot of sense

Error prone every where he’s been. Problem position for Norwich, Krul has been woeful, Gunn too - another costly mistake today.

Doesn’t command his area for a big guy, lacks concentration, slow off his line. Good shot stopper whose distribution is wild. Highly rated as a younger lad and bought for big money but if you’ve seen his career pan out, it’s far from impressive. For a 27 year old keeper he’s barely played regular first team football.

 

[statto75]

Aye. He was axed. He played today for Norwich.

 

[Ray Von]

Sounds like complete guess work.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Cantwell was allegedly not good enough for Norwich either.

Norwich will regret not playing Cantwell just like they will for not selling him for £30m+.

They are shit and Cantwell walks into their team. Something obviously happened there.

 

[Arkansasgerstill]

I’m not entirely sure a guy not deemed good enough at Norwich is the best fit to replace one of our greatest goalkeepers ever.

The last goalie that came from Norwich wasn’t too bad

 

[WATP]

Could be our Keeper for the next dozen years!

 

[Ally]

Right age , tall but apart from that I wouldn’t recognise him if he knocked on my door in the morning.

How do you know he’s tall then?

 

[WATP]

It did and Cantwell has said so much on his instagram, he says he will tell all on what happened when the time is right.

 

[Guerilla]

Aye. He was axed. He played today for Norwich.

That’s what I’m wondering too

 

[Kit_]

Gunn’s agent doing wonders to get him punted somewhere then surely.

 

[Now and forever]

Aye. He was axed. He played today for Norwich.

He was dropped then Krul was put in and has been poor. Gunn got a start again today and made an error.

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

Any relation to Bryan Gunn ?
(oh and cue the gun jokes)

Jane : I've heard police work is dangerous.

Frank : It is. That's why I carry a big gun.

Jane : Aren't you afraid it might go off accidentally?

Frank : I used to have that problem.

Jane : What did you do about it?

Frank : I just think about baseball.

 

[johnto]

Well said

 

[Blue 9]

Don’t know if he’s a good shout or not but the amount of absolute fuds that profess they have knowledge about his capabilities or value bursts me .

 

[statto75]

Saw it mate. Absolute howler.
