  4. End of an era? McGregor replaced by Butlandpublished at 20:38 British Summer Time 18 July 2023

    Rangers 0-1 Newcastle United

    Is that the end of an era? Allan McGregor has been substituted 37 minutes into his testimonial, presumably so he can fully enjoy the rest of his evening.

    Huge on-field hugs from all his team-mates would suggest it's his last game, but he's yet to officially confirm he's retiring. Jack Butland takes over, Rangers' new number one. Big gloves to fill.

    It's fantastic play from the big striker.

    And then it's a really well-taken goal.
