Michael Beale admits he has a "decision to make" on his Rangers No1.
Allan McGregor and Jon McLaughlin have both played under Beale this season with Robby McCrorie also pushing for an opportunity.
McLaughlin played the last match - against Ross County - after McGregor was ruled out through a sickness bug.
And now it leaves Beale with a dilemma over who should start against Motherwell at Ibrox tomorrow night.
The Rangers manager said: "Of course you have a decision to make out of the two of them [Allan McGregor and Jon McLaughlin].
"Robby [McCrorie] has trained ever so well and he is chasing them down.
"Allan was due to get a rest anyway it was in my plan, with the two travels and giving Jon a bit of oxygen."

Beale also hailed McLaughlin for his display in the Highlands as he saluted the "proper Jon McLaughlin performance".
"Jon did himself well in that game and probably exercised a few of the skeletons from earlier in the season," said Beale.
"Last time he played he’d made a mistake and I thought he made a fantastic save [in Dingwall].
"That was a proper Jon McLaughlin performance really from when I was here previously.
"In a big moment he does well, his distribution and coming to claim crosses is very good.
"He’s a calm head and kept another clean sheet. I reckon if you looked at his games per clean sheet it must be outstanding."
