Allan McGregor, born on January thirty-first, nineteen eighty-two, is a distinguished Scottish former professional footballer who has transitioned into a goalkeeping coach at Rangers. His football journey began at the Hutchison Vale youth club in Edinburgh, leading to his first team debut for Rangers in February two thousand two during a Scottish Cup match against Forfar Athletic.

Throughout his career, McGregor showcased his skills at various clubs, including St Johnstone, Dunfermline Athletic, Beşiktaş in Turkey, Hull City in England, and Cardiff City in Wales. He became a pivotal figure at Rangers, making over two hundred appearances and securing eleven major honors, including a remarkable hat-trick of league titles from two thousand nine to two thousand eleven, alongside three Scottish Cups and five Scottish League Cups.

After the liquidation of Rangers in two thousand twelve, McGregor exercised his rights to become a free agent and subsequently signed a two-year contract with Beşiktaş. Following a season in Turkey, he moved to Hull City before returning to Rangers in May two thousand eighteen. His second spell at the club saw him win another league title in two thousand twenty-one, culminating in his retirement from professional play in two thousand twenty-three.

On the international stage, McGregor made his full debut for Scotland in May two thousand seven. Despite facing disciplinary issues that led to a suspension, he was reinstated to the national team by manager Craig Levein. Over his international career, he earned forty-two caps for Scotland before announcing his retirement from international football in March two thousand nineteen.
