Robby McCrorie - debut in Premiership

[Craig Skinner]

Seems our young keeper had an exceptional night and started his career in the top flight with a clean sheet.

Livingston head coach Gary Holt: "Robby McCrorie, for his debut and being a young lad coming in, was exceptional.

"His handling was perfect - he knew when to come and stay and helped the boys in front of him. He made crucial saves and didn't look flustered."

Well done young man.

Had seen the result but wasn’t sure if he had much to do during the game. Sounds like a good performance. Hope he continues in the same vein.

Long may it continue Robby...him and Firth battling it out for spot on bench next season.

 

[maca3d]

Great to hear

 

[Pep_x]

Brilliant. Long may it continue.

 

[bulldozer]

think he will be no1 gk in a couple of years

 

[Berrytoon Bear]

According to the Sky Sports app it was Ross who was in goal for Livvy.
To be fair Ross has played in goal for us.

 

[tartan_penguin]

Hopefully he replaces Shagger in a couple of years

 

[mustn’t grumble]

He’s Mcgregor’s replacement (long term). Best potential of any Scottish GK.

 

[Craig Skinner]

Could be wrong but isn't he our first ever youth GK to play in top flight on loan?

 

[Matt-the-bear]

Really hope he does well!

Mcgregor was at Dunfermline.
edit mcgregor wasn’t a youth GK at that time.

 

[Feegie blue]

Can only be a good thing for us long term.

 

[Monkspath Miko]

Having watched the game back on alba he was excellent. Made a couple of impressive saves. He did come out his goal and got beaten to a ball....that his defence eventually cleared. Otherwise he was rock solid. Top flight debut and a clean sheet. Well done!!

 

[ig_rfc]

Hopefully he is challenging McGregor for No.1 spot next season or following

 

[55co]

Well done young man.

 

[wayoutwest]

You get the feeling that Robbie might be the real deal, impressive at QOS and a good start in the top flight, heard nothing but positives about him. Would a successful spell at Livi be enough to earn him the no.2 jersey next season though?.

 

[Russell RFC]

Sounds promising. Really excited about McCrorie.

 

[usbear]

Apparently a closed door game

Remember that Rangers only signed Ross McCrorie because they wanted to sign Robby first!

Great to read.
It seems his future is in his own hands.
I hope it’s with us.

Hadn't heard that one, I remember Ross once describing his brother as a robot, I took that to be compliment!.

 

[tazzabear]

Hopefully he replaces Shagger in a couple of years

I hope he’s ready to replace McGregor when required.

 

[FriscoBlue]

Fantastic news. A rangers number 1 in the future i hope?

 

[Edmond Dantes]

shaggeresqe double save there

 

[Clydevalley]

High hopes for him in the future

There is no point him wasting on the bench as number 2 next season. He needs games to develop.

So loan him out until he’s ready to take his place as number 1.

The coaching staff see him as having top potential but they want him to gradually ease into playing in bigger games and bigger stages. It’s to do with making mistakes as a goalkeeper at a young age and learning how to handle it. I wouldn’t be surprised if he got loaned out to someone bigger than Livingston next season - day Hearts or Hibs or even an EFL Championship side.

 

[Number11]

Good to hear that we already have a replacement for Mcgregor when he hangs up his gloves.

 

[Gordon1951]

Fantastic he is a real prospect for the future.

 

[China Bear]

Good news for sure, the lad has potential

 

[ellis1873]

That's a huge compliment from their manager. Sounds like the perfect debut. I like loaning to Livingston, they seem to offer players a great chance.

 

[SR11RFC]

Well done Robby , I was speaking to a QOTS fan yesterday and he was gutted to loose him

 

[Killer Bob]

Great news. Didn't realise he was playing until I saw this thread.

 

[Germlin]

Great experience and for his development. I hope the lad makes it as our first choice keeper in a couple of years.

 

[Chocco]

Big future in front of him , hopefully with us

 

[Dbbear]

Good to hear. Hopefully gets better and better.

 

[two_n_six]

A fine double save from that imposter MOH well done keep it up. It will have done his confidence a lot of good as well to get his team mates and manager to see what he is capable of.

 

[zxxxxxxxc]

Really do think he will be our number 1 in a few years

 

[justbrowsing]

Excellent to read from the Livi manager. Hope the lad has a cracking few months and really pushes on.

 

[Calderwoodbear]

Keep him out on loan till mcgregor retires, boy looks a great prospect.

 

[Bluenose1872]

Well done Robby cracking start.

 

[Eastendbear]

Great for him to get experience against the type of players he would be playing against week in week out if he becomes number 1.

 

[Dingmeister]

Great to hear and hope he keeps a few more clean sheets when the they play the mentally challengeds!

 

[basil1]

Well done Robbie. More of the same

 

[iMac]

Great to hear other managers singing his praises. Hope he continues to develop

 

[Ordoab chao66]

Well done to Robby.

 

[MearnsUnionist]

Long may it continue Robby...him and Firth battling it out for spot on bench next season.

He's already miles ahead of Firth mate.

He's going to the very top.

3 inches taller than Ross now and has a terrific physical presence.

 

[stuey]

Good stuff. A great opportunity for Robbie for the next few months

 

[Blue&White27]

Livingston is a great move for him and allows us to keep a close eye to him while he’s being challenged in our league. I’m excited to see his development.
