McGregor, meanwhile, earned the same number of shutouts despite playing one game less than his rival. The Rangers stopper missed out with 44 percent of the vote.
The other two competitors making up the four candidates were Motherwell's Mark Gillespie who took just four percent of the vote while Aberdeen's Joe Lewis managed two percent.
Forster solidified his spot in the team with big performances in the league as well as standout showings in the Betfred Cup final and against Lazio in the Europa League.
It comes as the Hoops prepare to make a move to keep Forster at Parkhead beyond the end of the current summer.
