Robby McCrorie (born 18 March 1998) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Rangers.

McCrorie previously had loan spells with Berwick Rangers, Greenock Morton, Queen of the South and Livingston.

Club career[edit]

From the village of Dailly in South Ayrshire, McCrorie was scouted by Rangers, the team his family supported, at a young age and started training with the Govan club at the age of fourteen.[2]

On 17 June 2017, after being involved in match-day squads over the previous two seasons without making an appearance,[3][4] McCrorie was loaned out to Berwick Rangers.[5] In December 2017, McCrorie signed a contract extension with the Light Blues until May 2022.[2][6] Despite the Wee Gers finishing third last in the league, McCrorie played a major role that season, winning the club's player of the year award.[3]

On 25 January 2019, McCrorie was loaned to Greenock Morton, alongside fellow Rangers youth player Andy Dallas until the end of the 2018–19 season.[7]

On 4 July 2019, McCrorie went on loan to Queen of the South on a deal that was due to run for the whole of the 2019–20 season [8] but he was recalled by Rangers during January 2020.[9] McCrorie was then loaned out to Scottish Premiership club Livingston until 31 May 2020,[9] making eight appearances for the club.[9]

After signing a new contract at Rangers until 2023, McCrorie returned to Livingston on loan for the 2020–21 season on 9 July 2020.[10]

After a first team debut in the UEFA Europa League against FC Alashkert, McCrorie made his first league start for Rangers against Old Firm rivals Celtic on 29 August 2021. McCrorie kept a clean sheet and made vital saves to help Rangers to a 1–0 victory.[11]

International career[edit]

McCrorie has represented Scotland at various youth levels.[12]

He played for Scotland U16 in the Victory Shield in 2012–13 and 2013–14.[13][14] With his brother Ross, Scotland won it in 2013–14.[14] McCrorie was selected for the Scotland U17 team in the UEFA under-17 Championship in 2014,[15] where the Netherlands beat in the semi-finals,[16] and 2015, this time with his brother in the squad.[17]

Chosen for the under-21 squad in the 2018 Toulon Tournament,[18] the team lost to Turkey in a penalty-out and finished fourth.[19] He was added to the senior squad for the first time in September 2020.[20] In September 2022 he was booked for delaying the play during a 2022–23 UEFA Nations League match against Ukraine, while among the Scotland substitutes and still awaiting his debut for the national team.[21]

Personal life[edit]

Robby is the twin brother of Bristol City player Ross McCrorie.[2][6][3]
