Rangers ace has been superb since returning to Ibrox.

Many of Rangers new signings are still finding their feet but one player who has been an instant hit at Ibrox is Allan McGregor.

McGregor is in his second spell at Rangers and that has no doubt contributed to his successful performances as he needed no time to settle in.

The only problem for manager Steven Gerrard is that McGregor is 36 and turns 37 in January.

His age is not currently a barrier to his success, but it does mean Rangers have a limited window in which to make the most of him.

How much longer will McGregor peak for?

Will it only be this season? Does he have two years at the top left? Or can he go until he is 40, 41?

If the latter, then it will be extremely helpful to Rangers as they try to topple Celtic, but there are no guarantees.

Rangers need to work on the basis that McGregor may only have two seasons at the top left and anything else will be a bonus.

Gerrard has his first choice goalkeeper, who has the potential to help lead them to silverware.

The Rangers boss has to get the rest of the team right, and make McGregor’s second spell at Ibrox count.
