RANGERS VETERANS TO TALK WITH CLUB

-

Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor claimed he had not even thought about his future ahead of what could be his final appearance on the pitch.

The 40-year-old came off the bench for the final few minutes of the Scottish Cup final win over Hearts.

Jon McLaughlin started, as he had done in all the previous rounds, but the former Hearts keeper told manager Giovanni van Bronckhors­t he wanted McGregor to be given a late run-out if appropriat­e.

It was a first Scottish Cup final appearance for the former Scotland goalkeeper, who has defied his age this season to help Rangers to the Europa League final with some impressive performanc­es.

It could also be the final appearance of McGregor’s career, but he is relaxed about his impending decision and will reflect on the campaign before making any decisions.

When asked whether he would play for Rangers again, McGregor said: “I don’t know, I have not thought about it.

“The last few months have been hectic, there have been games every midweek and all I have been focusing on is the next game. This is the last game so I have not thought about it.

“I will speak to the club soon enough and we will take it from there.

“I can speak to the club easily and they can speak to me easily. It’s not a big problem, it’s not a heated discussion, just a general chat more than anything to see what the script is, and we will take it from there.”

Steven Davis will discuss his Ibrox future in the coming days after ending an emotional week with a medal.

The 37-year-old is out of contract and unsure what is happening next season.

Davis, who has played 41 games for club and country this season, is not sure whether he has played his last game for Rangers. He said: “To be honest, I really don’t know. We just said we would speak afterwards. It’s been such an emotional week, obviously with the European final. This doesn’t make up for it because it was a real, good opportunit­y for us, but we are delighted to win this.”

Davis has now won 10 domestic trophies at Ibrox as well as picking up two runners-up medals in European finals.
