After two months on the sidelines, Letizi controversially made an automatic return to the side despite impressive performances from his replacement Allan McGregor.
[citation needed] Manager Paul Le Guen had made it clear at the start of the season that Letizi was going to be number one, which was not entirely unexpected.
But the decision was soon put under dubious light when a fumble on the 14 October 2006 gave Inverness Caledonian Thistle an unforeseen 1–0 win at Ibrox Stadium, and left Rangers 10 points behind Celtic after just ten Scottish Premier League matches.

He was in France's preliminary squad of 28 players for the 1998 FIFA World Cup on home soil, but was left out by head coach Aimé Jacquet just before the tournament began.
