Steven Gerrard has confirmed that New Zealander Stefan Marinovic is on a week-long trial with Rangers – but where does it leave Wes Foderingham?
The Kiwi keeper was released by Vancouver Whitecaps last month and is hoping to impress and win a deal with the Light Blues.

The former Swindon keeper joined the Gers under Mark Warburton and had been number one until McGregor’s return this season.
With Robby McCrorie also pushing to be involved with the first-team, having three senior keepers seems excessive.
Marinovic spent 18 months with Vancouver after spending his eight years in the German 3. Liga and Regionalliga.

Marinovic made a total of 100 league appearances in Germany.

Marinovic earned $162562.50 last year, according the MLS’ Player Association (roughly £2500 per week) and that is likely much less than Foderingham currently gets at Ibrox.
With the transfer window closing in 11 days, a move away this month might not happen.
Come the summer though, it could well be curtains for Foderingham as Gerrard continues to build his own squad.
Few would argue Foderingham hasn’t served the Gers well but the chance to move for first-team football will appeal.
