He’s not wasting any time

Steven Gerrard has made his second signing as manager of Rangers after securing the services of Hull City goalkeeper Allan McGregor on a two-year contract.

The 36-year-old had previously played 205 games for the Scottish Premiership club between 2001 and 2012, before heading to Turkey to join Besiktas for a season and then moving onto Hull City, a spell which also involved a season-long loan at Cardiff City on 2017.

In moving to Ibrox he becomes Gerrard’s second signing after Burnley midfielder Scott Arfield joined on a four-year deal.

“I’m buzzing,” he told RangersTV. “I cannot keep the smile off my face! When the chance came it was an absolute no-brainer so I’m buzzing to be back.

“I started training here when I was 12 years old, I used come through the main stand twice, three times a week and just to be back it’s incredible.

“You need to make this place a fortress where no one wants to come and you need to win games, it doesn’t matter who you are playing every opportunity is a chance for three points. If you keep doing that and doing that, that is what wins you titles.”
