Allan McGregor could be set to extend his stay at Rangers despite his contract running out this summer.

The veteran goalkeeper looked to have played his last game for the club when he was substituted on at the end of their Scottish Cup final victory over Hearts.

McGregor refused to be drawn on his plans for the future after the match but it looks as if he could now sign a new deal at Ibrox.

Journalist Joshua Barrie reports that talks between the club and the player are 'progressing' with both parties keen for a deal to be agreed.

The 40-year old played 48 matches in all competitions last season - including the Europa League final against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Rangers still have Jon McLaughlin and Robby McCrorie on the books at the club with Giovanni van Bronckhorst now facing a decision who to use as his number one going forward.

Speaking to RangersTV about his future at the end of the season, McGregor said: "Of course, it will look like my final game.

"If I was watching it would look like that to me as well. But I've not thought about it my contract. There have been games every week.

"All I've thought about is the next game and recovery. Nowthat the season is finished I will talk to the club, they're easy to talk to and they know me. Wewill see what is best for both parties."
