Rangers goalkeeper all time clean sheet standings

The problem with Peter McCloy is that he should have been replaced a couple of seasons sooner than he was, i still remember Nick Walker coming in and then Chris Woods and the memories of McCloy were like someone’s dad in goals

That surprised me when I read it on Wikipedia. He also played a lot more games for Hibs than I thought he did.

He played 260 games for us by my calculations. That section of Wikipedia only shows League games. Normally there’s more detailed statistics at the bottom but they aren’t on his, when domestic cups and Europe are included it takes it to 260.

Can’t find his Oldham statistics but I doubt he played many cup games for them.

Edit: Found this site showing 215 + 4 total appearances for Oldham over two spells

I genuinely recall far more of McCloys errors, resulting in goals, but that could be because he played in far more games than these other keepers.
I remember once he had lost his place in the first team, we played a friendly against Spurs at Ibrox. I can’t remember who our keeper was, but we subbed him late in the second half to allow McCloy a bit part. Our fans then started chanting McCloy’s name, and I said to my mate that they have a short memory. Within ten minutes, he had palmed an easy shot straight back out towards the penalty spot and a Spurs Player scored.
Unfortunately, I have so many memories of goals against us where McCloy was at fault, and I won’t even mention him swinging on the crossbar in a cup final, whilst the ball is lying in the net behind him. Oops too late, I did mention it.

Mcgregor shouldn’t retire he can get the top easily even if he drops down a level
 
Goalkeeper is probably the most transformed role in football in the time I've been watching football. From bare-handed to gloves like paddles to techniques of spreading yourself unseen 50 years ago. We used to be full of disdain for keepers who punched the ball clear instead of catching it, and I suspect that's why I enjoyed seeing Jon McLaughlin come out for crosses.
 
This is one of these conundrums that can’t be defined by stats, as for a start back in Brown, Niven, Ritchie times one look at the state of the grounds, not manicured the way they are now. Then two they played with a Bladder, not one of the pristine balls they have now. Throughout History our Forefathers must have said the same thing, however their not around now to state their case about the Greats of Rangers.

Its ridiculous all these appearances and shut outs and he gets remembered for a bad mistake v Aberdeen in a cup final and 2 or 3 other normal mistakes a goalkeeper makes. How do you think he ended up playing all these games if he was a liability or not very good. Some utter nonsense spouted on here.

Exactly, as i said i saw his whole career. very reliable keeper.
 
16yrs a Ger says he was a good GK. Peter was big, commanding and a decent shot stopper too. But could also be vulnerable from distance & I recall him swinging from the bar on a least one occasion while the ball nestled behind him.
