Allan McGregor admits to major Rangers trophy regret

Allan McGregor concedes he wishes he enjoyed more success during his second spell at Rangers.

The Ibrox icon won 11 trophies in total during his first stint at the club. This included three league titles.

He then re-joined the Light Blues in 2018 after becoming one of Steven Gerrard's first signings.

In terms of trophies, the success didn't quite flow as much as his first stint at his boyhood club though, with just one Premiership title and one Scottish Cup added to his CV.

McGregor insists that record isn't good enough for Rangers. 

In his programme notes for his testimonial game against Newcastle United on Tuesday night, he confessed the lack of silverware over the past five years was his biggest regret.

McGregor said: "I wish there were more, I'm not going to lie.

"Without wanting to sound negative here, we have won two trophies from a possible 15 in the last five years - 16 if you include the Europa League final - and that is not enough for this club.

"At Rangers there always has to be a standard where every game and every trophy is a must-win.

"I try to do my best to get that through to people, that you must be consistently winning leagues and winning cups. We need to get back to that as soon as possible.

"But winning the club's 55th title was something very special to me and I'll never forget that."
