Former Ibrox defender Ally Dawson has told The Scottish Sun that Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor is a great signing for Steven Gerrard’s side.

McGregor has joined Rangers in the summer transfer window after leaving Hull City in the Championship in England at the end of last season.

The 36-year-old goalkeeper started his professional club football career at Rangers and left the Gers in 2012.

Former Rangers defender Dawson, who was on the books of the Ibrox club from 1975 until 1987, has hailed the return of McGregor to the Scottish Premiership club.

Dawson, 60, has also praised Rangers manager Steven Gerrard for bringing in players who are athletic.

“So far Gerrard’s signings look encouraging,” Dawson told The Scottish Sun. “They are certainly athletic. They are all imposing types while Allan McGregor is a great signing.

“He knows all about the standards required at Rangers. He is someone who knows what the club is about and what is expected.”

Busy summer for Rangers

Rangers have been very busy so far in the summer transfer window and have made a number of signings already.

Among the players the Glasgow giants have recruited this summer are midfielder Scott Arfield, defenders Connor Goldson and Nikola Katic, and midfielder Ovie Ejaria (on loan).

Rangers fans will expect the Gers to at least challenge Old Firm rivals Celtic for the Scottish Premiership title next season.
