Former Rangers goalkeeper Stefan Klos has urged Allan McGregor to extend his Ibrox deal after his "personal mission" to stop Celtic is complete.
The veteran goalkeeper is out of contract at Ibrox this summer and could cement his place as a Light Blues legend by bringing the Premiership trophy back to Govan.
However, former teammate Klos, who saw McGregor break through from the youth set-up, believes Steven Gerrard can convince the 39-year-old to remain with the club for another season.
He believes the shot at Champions League football could be a key factor for the stopper if he is to commit for another season.
Klos told The Sunday Post: “If Allan feels fit and healthy in body and mind, then I think he should keep going.
“Only he will know exactly how he feels, but in terms of performances this season, he has been outstanding.
“It’s as though he has been on a personal mission to stop Celtic from doing 10 In A Row.
“So he may feel this is the perfect time to hang up his gloves. Going out in this way might be the best ever because it’s such an important title for many reasons.
“But the flip side is that he will have the opportunity to go and play in the Champions League again. That must be very appealing.
“At the end of the day, age is just a number. There is every chance he feels better now than he felt when he was 35. We will see.
“Whatever happens, he has had a brilliant career. He can be very proud."
German keeper Klos was on hand to welcome McGregor to the Rangers first-team after he had just penned a full-time deal with the club.
He could see he was going to be a top player even from the first few session together.
He continued: “From our first few training sessions together, I could see he had something special.
“He had great hands and had quick feet. He was brave. He had all the attributes.
“Allan was ambitious and wanted to improve every day. He wanted to become a first-team goalkeeper as quickly as possible, and he just needed to gather experience.
“He was also a popular boy, and was so good in the group. The senior professionals liked him. He was great company.
“When his career took off and he had many games under his belt, I felt he had the ability to go and play for a top-four side in England. That’s how highly I rated him."
