Hull City assistant coach Andy Crosby has rubbished claims Allan McGregor is on the verge of signing for Rangers.

McGregor is entering the final few weeks of his contract at the KCOM Stadium, allowing him to leave the club on a free transfer at the end of the season, and according to reports yesterday, the 36-year-old was on the verge of re-joining Scottish Premiership side Rangers.

The goalkeeper was rumoured to be in Glasgow yesterday in order to have a medical and sign a pre-contract agreement that would see McGregor move to Ibrox in the summer on a two-year deal. However, according to Crosby, reports of a deal being close to completion are false.

The assistant head coach confirmed the Scottish international reported to the club’s training ground in Cottingham yesterday as expected for training.

“Contrary to reports Allan McGregor wasn’t at Rangers yesterday and wasn’t having a medical and hasn’t agreed terms with Rangers,” Crosby said. “Allan was in Hull yesterday.”

The goalkeeper has been in fine form this season, missing just one Championship game for the Tigers and keeping 12 clean sheets along the way.

As such, while Crosby is keen for McGregor to extend his stay at the club for at least another season, he admits his future is far from clear.

“There are conversations being had with regard to Allan’s future at the football club,” he added. “He’s in a position where we can leave.

“Since I have been here he’s been fantastic and we want to keep him. Things have got to be agreed and we will see how that develops over the next few weeks.

“The manager had a private conversation with him this morning and Allan has said to Nigel that if anything develops he will be the first person to know. Knowing Allan I have faith in that.

“All we can do is say to Allan that we want him to be part of things here because he’s a fantastic goalkeeper. We want to keep him and hopefully the conversations will come to a conclusion that Allan is still here next year.

“He’s contracted here still, he’s available for selection, he is fit and available and playing well.”
