Watch McGregor receive standing ovation on final Rangers Ibrox appearance

This is the moment Allan McGregor received a standing ovation on his final Rangers appearance.

The legendary Ibrox stopper, 41, received applause from the stands and his team-mates as he walked off the pitch after 37 minutes at Ibrox.

McGregor had started in the testimonial match against Newcastle at a sold-out Ibrox.

And with 37 minutes on the clock, McGregor walked off the pitch to rapturous applause from all corners of Ibrox.

Ahead of the match, McGregor had thanked Rangers fans saying: "It's my night to say thank you to them as well.

"The length of time I have been here, the support is unbelievable. It's the best fans in the world."

Rangers boss Michael Beale also hailed McGregor as a "modern-day icon" at Ibrox.

Paying tribute to the legendary keeper, he said: "He rejoined the club in the summer of 2018 when I first came into the club. 

"His experience, his quality, his standards have been the background of all the good things that have happened since then.

"We know that he had a fantastic period with us before but a league winner, another European final and a Scottish Cup in this second part with the club.

"It was great to have him back in the building yesterday and training with the group. Lots of smiles and lots of reminiscing.

"He's just an unbelievable professional; to play the amount of games that he has, and also he has got a highlight reel for the ages.

"I think he is a modern-day icon for the club."
