Rangers victory over their rivals this weekend was a massive step for them in the league. The win helped them put their fate back into their own hands, now being two points off the top of the league with a game in hand. Should they win that game in hand, they will become the undisputed first-place team.

But the game could have gone in a much different direction if not for Allan McGregor. The Scottish shot-stopper denied Ryan Christie’s penalty in the 33rd minute before Rangers went up the other end to score the game’s opening goal in the 36th. After the match Rangers tweeted out a gif of the stop. Fans sent their praises to McGregor, with one fan suggesting he deserves a knighthood.


Would Rangers have won the Old Firm if McGregor didn't save the penalty?

No

No

Yes

Others called McGregor, who is valued at £675k (Transfermarkt) a capeless hero. He saved them on the night.


What do we think?

McGregor’s contribution to his game can’t be overstated. His contributions to the season as a whole have been large as well. The goalkeeper has played a massive role in Gerrard’s success so far this season and must continue to perform if his team hopes to lift its 55th league title.
