  We investigate the viability of the quasi-temporal gauge on the lattice. This
is a complete gauge fixing condition that can be implemented on the lattice at
a very low computational cost. As a test case, using the Clover action, we have
evaluated the (gauge invariant) renormalisation constant of the non-singlet
axial current, using Ward identities extracted from quark states. Our result is
in reasonable but not complete agreement with previous values obtained from
Ward identities both on hadronic states and on quark states in the Landau
gauge. We observe large fluctuations due to lattice Gribov copies. The
influence of finite volume effects is expected to be non-negligible in the case
we are considering.
