Rangers goalkeeper Wes Foderingham has hinted at an exit from Ibrox in search of more game time, as he struggles to dislodge first choice Allan McGregor from the sticks.

What did he say?

The 28-year-old has made just four appearances so far this season, including the most recent game against St Johnstone in which he kept a clean sheet - he was, however, standing in for the suspended McGregor.

When asked about his future, the English stopper said: “I won’t put a timescale on it. I’ll look at all the options that are available to me and make decisions based on that.

“We will see where we are at the end of the season.”

Foderingham has already told boss Steven Gerrard that he needs more game time, although the former Liverpool captain has not given him any assurances that he will drop McGregor in order for him to play.

Do Rangers need to sign a new goalkeeper?

Aside from McGregor and Foderingham, Gerrard has just Jak Alnwick as his only other keeper, although the 25-year-old is currently out on loan at Scunthorpe.

Seeing as he is far from a young, up-and-coming keeper simply going out on loan to get some experience under his belt, one would assume that Alnwick could also potentially need to consider his future upon his return to Scotland.

Additionally, along with the fact that Foderingham has just a year left on his contract and is looking to leave, it shouldn't be forgotten that first choice McGregor is 37-years-old and surely doesn't have too many more years left in the game.

It is looking possible that the goalkeeping position at Ibrox could fast become a problematic area for Gerrard, and it would be wise for the Gers boss to consider a complete overhaul in between the sticks to amend this.

If Gerrard doesn't solve this problem in the summer, then he and Rangers could be left in a real sticky situation in the transfer market before the start of next season, where he will be hoping to mount a real challenge for the title.
