7 of Allan McGregor's finest moments in his record-breaking Rangers European career

Allan McGregor set a Rangers record against Standard Liege – becoming the club’s record European appearance holder in his 83rd continental game.

Along the way to beating former team-mate Barry Ferguson’s Ibrox benchmark, there have been 37 clean sheets with some shut-outs recorded against some of the more glamorous of European names.

Great saves stick out in the memory in both the Champions League and the Europa League and UEFA Cup before it throughout a European career that began way back in September 2006 and a trip to Norway.

Now, McGregor is just seven games away from his 400th club appearance too, and looks set to further both tallies this season after Steven Gerrard’s side cemented a place in the last 32 of the UEFA Europa League to be played next year.

Here, we take a look back at just a few of the many highlights from the Scotland goalkeeper’s 83 European matches for Rangers.
