The former Crystal Palace goalkeeper came up trumps in Geneva this midweek.
But James Tavernier reckons you’ve got to hand it to the former England keeper after he made a fabulous first fist of it in Switzerland. Recently-retired hero McGregor built his heroic Rangers reputation on big European nights, throwing out arms to defy dumbstruck strikers across the continent. From Werder Bremen to the surge to Seville the year before he finally called time on his long, proud career, Greegsy had a knack of pulling off crucial saves at vital moments.
Paying tribute to his new man in goal, the skipper said: “Big Jack has been absolutely phenomenal since he came into the building. We obviously lost a great keeper in Allan, but Jack has come in and he’s certainly made his mark. “The saves were massive and made at a crucial time. We went 1-0 down and he made a massive save. It was poor from ourselves because we weren’t close enough to the striker when the runner comes through.
It’s been a rocky start to the new season for Gers following their opening day defeat to Kilmarnock. But in a city that lies at the gateway of the Alps, Beale’s team peaked in the second half to ensure they march on to that huge clash with Peter Bosz’s PSV outfit. Boss Beale also sees signs his team are coming together. They’ll need to be better still, however, against a free-scoring Eindhoven outfit who’ve already rattled in 10 goals in their four games so far this season.
