Is Rangers v Newcastle on TV? Kick-off time and how to watch Allan McGregor testimonial

Rangers will honour former goalkeeper Allan McGregor with a testimonial against Newcastle United at a sold-out Ibrox Stadium on Tuesday night.

The 41-year-old will take his final bow in front of the Rangers support following his departure at the end of last season which brought an end to his 15-year association with the club spanning two spells.

McGregor made over 500 appearances for the Light Blues and won 11 major honours including four league titles while he also played in the English Premier League with Hull City as well as earning 46 caps for Scotland.

A crowd in excess of 50,000 is expected with 8000 travelling fans making the journey up from Newcastle. McGregor has been back training with Rangers in preparation for the match as he takes his place between the sticks for the final time.
