1973

Rangers swapping keepers is nothing new

RANGERS play Aberdeen at Pittodrie today with regular goalie Wes Foderingham expected to be back between the sticks.

Former Scotland international Matt Gilks took his place for the midweek League Cup win over Queen of the South.

We’re now in an era where keepers get specialist coaching.

As our picture from 1973 shows, they often used to take part in the general training.

The huge presence of Peter McCloy is limbering up in the foreground wearing shorts with the No. 2.

Right at the back is new signing Stewart Kennedy.

McCloy made 44 appearances in season 1973-74. Kennedy appeared three times, including two League Cup ties, and Donald Hunter was given four starts.
