Allan McGregor urged to put Rangers decision on ice until after Seville as Gio van Bronckhorst reveals talks over future

Gio van Bronckhorst has told Allan McGregor to focus on Seville before coming to a decision on his Rangers retirement.

The Ibrox keeper turned 40 in January and is approaching the final week of his current contract.

McGregor admitted last month that he was making a concerted effort to take more time to “savour” the big moments as the clock ticks down on his career, fuelling speculation the former Scotland No.1 is considering hanging up his gloves this summer.

If he does bow out, he’ll hope to do it on an almighty high as Rangers prepare for Wednesday’s Europa League final in Spain with Eintracht Frankfurt then the Scottish Cup Final against Hearts three days later.

The Seville showdown will hold extra meaning for McGregor after injury forced him to miss the club’s 2008 run to the UEFA Cup final in Manchester, where understudy Neil Alexander played in the loss to Zenit St Petersburg.

Boss Van Bronckhorst is aware of the significance of next week’s clash but doesn’t want the keeper’s future to cloud Gers’ bid for their first European trophy in 50 years.

The Ibrox gaffer said: “I spoke to Allan about it this week. He missed the final in 2008 but he has another chance to play a final in Europe next week.
