Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has suggested to the club’s official website that Allan McGregor will be disappointed with the goal that he conceded against Hibernian at Ibrox.

Gerrard’s side got the better of Hibernian 2-1 at home in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday evening.

McGregor was in goal as usual for the Gers, and the Scottish goalkeeper conceded in the 35th minute.

Rangers manager Gerrard believes that the 38-year-old will be disappointed with the goal that he let in.

Gerrard told Rangers’ official website: “We have obviously conceded a goal, and Allan [McGregor] will be disappointed by it.

“He has been phenomenal for me as a goalkeeper, but I think when he watches that back, he will probably say to himself, ‘should I have come or should I have stayed?’

“I’m sure he’ll discuss that with Colin Stewart, but once he does come, he has to do better. But, he has saved us many, many times before so maybe we can excuse him from criticism.”
