Rangers ace Allan McGregor was in top form on Tuesday night.
Pundit and former Scotland ace Willie Miller has told BBC Sport that he thought Allan McGregor’s save from Israel striker Tomer Hemed on Tuesday night was ‘magnificent’.
Scotland were back in action again on Tuesday, having thrashed Albania 4-0 away from on Saturday, and returned to Hampden Park for the final game of their UEFA Nations League campaign.
Scotland went into the game as favourites but fell behind early on as ex-Celtic man Beram Kayal smashed home a long-range effort to put Israel level, and they continued to look dangerous on the break.
However, Celtic winger James Forrest enjoyed a remarkable game, bagging a hat-trick to put Scotland 3-1 up, building on the two goals he scored against Albania at the weekend.
Eran Zahavi’s 75th minute goal set up a tense finale, and Hemed looked to have rescued a draw for Israel with a late header, only for Rangers goalkeeper McGregor to somehow claw the ball away with a stunning save.
Scotland managed to hang on, finishing top of their group and securing a provisional play-off place for Euro 2020, with McGregor drawing the plaudits for his save as the Rangers star continues to prove that he should be first-choice ahead of Craig Gordon.
After the save, pundit and ex-Scotland man Willie Miller told BBC Sport that it was a magnificent save from McGregor, celebrating that the Rangers man has ‘done it again’ with a miraculous stop.
“Magnificent save,” said Miller. “That was Israel’s chance, it looked like it was going to end up in the back of the net, Allan McGregor has done it again,” he added.
