# Rangers: Joshua Barrie reveals Allan McGregor contract news

**The [Rangers](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/rangers-fc-news/) Review journalist Joshua Barrie has now revealed some worrying news from inside Ibrox involving Allan McGregor.**

### The Lowdown: Out of contract

McGregor is [out of contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/allan-mcgregor/profil/spieler/9422) this summer, meaning that he will leave Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s team as a free agent if a new deal is not signed.

The veteran goalkeeper is 40 years of age now, and so there is a big decision to be made over whether he will be able to carry on into next season.

Despite his age, the Ibrox legend was a huge part of the manager’s plans this season, racking up over [4,000](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/allan-mcgregor/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/9422/plus/0?saison=2021&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) minutes played in all competitions.

### The Latest: No talks

Taking to Twitter, [Barrie](https://twitter.com/JoshuaBarrieRR/status/1534249428588036097) has shared the inside scoop – McGregor has not entered talks with the club with regards to a new deal and is not interested in a coaching role with the Teddy Bears either.

However, both parties are ‘open’ to discussions: *“I understand that Allan McGregor has not entered talks with Rangers and isn’t currently interested in a coaching role. Both sides are open to discussions however none have taken place at this moment in time.”*

### The Verdict: Worrying

It certainly is worrying to hear that talks are not taking place over a new contract for McGregor.

He managed to keep 17 clean sheets and concede fewer than a goal a game last term, including three shutouts in the UEFA Europa League, helping them on their way to the final against Frankfurt ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/allan-mcgregor/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/9422/plus/0?saison=2021&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)).

In their European journey, the Scotsman saved a penalty, made no errors leading to goals and averaged 2.9 saves per match ([SofaScore](https://www.sofascore.com/player/allan-mcgregor/12769)), showing that he is still capable of performing at the highest level.

We feel the Light Blues need to tie him down to a short-term extension as soon as possible.
