Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has told the Ibrox club’s official website that Allan McGregor was very unlucky against Aberdeen at the weekend.

The Gers played out a 1-1 draw with Aberdeen away from home in the Scottish Cup quarter-final tie on Sunday afternoon.

The home team took the lead after just 11 minutes when Sam Cosgrove found the target from the penalty spot.

Rangers goalkeeper McGregor did get a hand to the spot kick, and manager Gerrard believes that the 37-year-old Scotland international was unlucky not to have saved it.

Gerrard told Rangers’ official website: “He was very unlucky – he guessed the right way so he was very unfortunate, and he was unlucky not to keep a clean sheet today.”
