    I'd say Randolph personally. Forster is vastly overrated.

    Craig Samson is a very good keeper. Some very good keepers in the SPL just now in Williams, Forster, Randolph and Samson.

    I've never thought Samson was any good, from the times I have seen him.....Randolph is decent, but from what I have seen Forster appears to be the best. Williams has been great for us at times, and his penalty stops have been superb, however, I feel he sometimes struggles with cross balls (2 at the Piggery spring to mind)......

    McDonald wouldn't be in my top five and it's not because he plays for the yams, it's that I think he's very mediocre.

    Forster by a large distance.

    Forster, all round, is the best IMO. He has height and plenty of it, unlike Randolph, MacDonald, Williams. Fantastic reflexes and closes his angles so well in one on ones. You just need to watch his performance against Barcelona to see how good he is.

    Unlike other positions it is certainly the case that goalkeepers are able to show their true ability when playing the highest quality of opponents. The fact many view him as overrated is because A) of the quality of his defence and B) the fact he is up against strikers like Ngoo, Elliot and Baird.

    Alongside Stokes he is my biggest worry going into this cup final. Thank the lord we have Griffiths to make the quality of the opposition goalkeeper largely insignificant.

    Foster but Celtic will lose him next Ben but if he nails coming for crosses/corners well lose him too:(

    Id like to add Ben Williams has been sensational for Hibs and with our budget the keeper we have needed since Leighton

    Randolph, was always too good for Motherwell. And I think he deserves the move he's got. An all round very good keeper.

    Forster is the most overrated keeper the spl has seen for a long time... Good shot stopper, any better than Ben though? Reactions ok, again have a wee look at bens save in the cup game vs hearts for a truly top notch reaction save! Ben has made a meal of two crosses on what was a howling day at Tynie! Forster has never been able to command a box and got his call up through a good display in the nou camp and the hype the media surround him with... He's 7ft tall and was lobbed by riordan at Celtic park, and was so slow off his line at the game at Easter road in december

    That was funny, said to my pal they should have made it the 20 second challenge, as they were that slow getting to the 18 yard line they nearly collapsed out of breath.

    The guy with the long ponytail was hilarious.

    Forster is the only other current SPL keeper that I would have, before Ben Williams.

    Yeh I'd have to agree with Forster, although Ben is my second choice
