Anyone watching Rangers v Fiorentina's 0-0 UEFA Cup Semi-Final first leg tonight would have been bored by a dreadfully poor game but quite impressed by a certain Neil Alexander in goals for Rangers who had quite a bit of work and was thoroughly competent throughout.
It's incredible to think this time last year, Dave Jones wouldn't play him for City and preferred David Forde. Weakening the side by getting rid of Neil and leaving us play the first half of this season with the inadequate Ross Turnbull is one of many reasons why City fell away in their half-hearted play-off challenge anyway.
It's been quite a week for Neil - last weekend, he saved 2 penalties to take Rangers to the Scottish Cup Final.
I bet he never thought he would be achieveing all of this 12 months ago and nobody thought Cardiff City would be in the F.A. Cup Final either. What a year for both.
