I have got to say that I think Craig Gordon is a top keeper.

I like Scott Bain. I think he is a strong goalkeeper and you would have to say he has never let anyone down when called upon to come into the team.

But right now I would maintain that Gordon is the better of the two keepers.

I’m not sure that is the way everyone sees it.

And we’ll only really know how Brendan Rodgers sees it over the next few weeks. Who starts against Hamilton Accies and then against St Johnstone might just give an indication of who he wants as his number one between now and the end of the season.

Gordon is clearly the more experience and for me, would be my first choice.

Which is no slight on Bain. I am not sure anyone could point the finger at what he has done since he arrived at the club. He exudes a calmness that I am not sure Gordon always does in the eyes of the support.

There seems to be anxious moments, some which Gordon can bring on himself when he looks to play the ball out when it is not always on. But if you look back to that game at Ibrox at the end of the year, it would have been far more without the way Gordon played.

He pulled off some really impressive saves and I think he still has that about him.

He might take the odd chance with his passing but overall I think he is a vastly experienced goalkeeper who has proved himself at the top level in the game.

But it is the manager who watches training every day and who sees things that we don’t all see so who knows.

You would have to say that with a run of home games between the end of this month and February that it would seem the easiest time to switch goalkeepers if you were of a mind to do so.

We won’t know until we see how the next couple of games pans out because Gordon could just as easily find himself back in the starting XI for tomorrow’s game. Who knows.

One thing is for sure, though. That defeat at Ibrox already feels like a long time ago.

Two comfortable home wins with seven goals scored and none conceded and two of the January signings finding their feet has to be seen to be a decent start to the year.

And the fact that Rangers slipped up at Rugby Park means that the have lost a big part of the benefit of that win – while Celtic have been able to catch their breath.

Interestingly, too, I don’t know that anyone would genuinely expect Kilmarnock to be title challengers but what you do have to say right now is that they are a team who are not just difficult to beat but a team who look like winning every time they play on home soil.

They have lost a player who was one of their top performers but they don’t seem to have dropped the ball at all. And I think sustaining that home form will determine just where they will finish in the league.

Steve Clarke has done an outstanding job and they are a team who look very capable of taking points off anyone – as they have done all season.

Their record is remarkable and with Aberdeen also maintaining a bit of consistency then you have to think that it will be a pretty strong run in.

But with Celtic now three points to the good and with a game in hand added to a glut of home games, you would expect them now to go and kick on. This is the time that if they are going to stretch away that they have the best chance of doing so.

The guys who they brought in during the window will have benefitted hugely from their goals. I am not sure that Oliver Burke is an out and out striker but the fact that he got off the mark with the brace against St Mirren the other night will mean that he has a bit of confidence about him, which is important given the fact he has played so little football this season.

Timothy Weah doesn’t look like a lad who is short on a bit of self-belief and already he looks as though he has got something to offer.

But you do have to remember that he is only 18. The sensible approach is to bring him gradually into the team with 20 minutes here and 45 there and he’ll clock up plenty of game time.

I actually think he will still be on the bench for Saturday’s game but will look to make an impact again when he comes on.
