When Allan arrived at Rangers in the summer of 1998 he was described as one of the best young goalkeepers in Europe.

A serious wrist injury, however sustained during a youth match, followed by a broken hand almost destroyed his dreams and he was sidelined for nearly a year.

Having been handed his first top team appearance in the Scottish Cup, coming on after 70 minutes to replace Klos against Forfar in February 2002, he was then awarded his first start against Dunfermline in the final game of that season.

Working alongside Stefan Klos and Billy Thompson has helped McGregor immensely and he is now hoping to build on his early success and progress even more in the years to come.

Allan went on loan to Dunfermline for a year in order to further his football development but returned for season 2006/07.

He started the season vying for the keeper's jersey with new signing Lionel Letizi and was in and out of the side in the early stages.

Paul Le Guen finally settled on McGregor as his Number One and Walter Smith went along with that went he took over the reins in January 2007.

McGregor's fine form was rewarded further when he made his full international debut at the end of that season in the friendly match with Austria.
