    I quite like the song Rangers have for him:

    "He dives to the left,
    He dives to the right,
    Alan McGregor shags 10 birds a night."

    Disgraceful but I'm sure this will be swept under the carpet for the most part. Wouldn't really suit anyone's agenda to go chasing a goalkeeper in a mediocre League for something like this.

    I'll nail my colours to the mast here as I'm an Arsenal fan; but considering the furore kicked up when Eduardo dived [and there was at least contact in that incident iirc not to condone it] you would tend to feel aggreived at the consistency being applied. Will Fifa retrospectively ban McGregor for this? Not a chance. It's a poison in the game and it will continue to be until such a time as Fifa apply the rules consistently across the board [lol at this ever happening].

    Disgraceful stuff alright. I wish it was only an isolated incident, far from it unfortunately

    Involved in far more on and off the pitch controversies than the likes of Lennon, McGeady and Boruc but doesn't seem to get the "special" treatment that those three were singled out for.

    The man is a scumbag!! id say he is really gonna regret what he done at the weekend!!

    I know he's an absolute scumbag, but just look at some of the tactics which have been brought in by their esteemed manager, Walter Smith who's defended the absolute cheater Kyle Lafferty, and the perennial cheater that is their assistant manager Ally McCoist, who has in the past defended the scumbag that is Thierry Henry not to mention his cheating on his wife too.

    It makes you think that they've brought this into their players games to cheat a little bit here and there, I do like a lot of the Rangers squad, namely Davey Weir, Buggy and Kirk Broadfoot it does seem that these players come far too infrequently in the Rangers squad, I do hope McGregor does get a ban for this, he's proven he's a classless person far too often in his career, no doubting he's a quality goalkeeper, by far the best in the league undoubtedly but he's just a pure scumbag, he could easily play in a top side if he changed his attitude, unfortunately I don't think he'll do this.

    Hadn't seen this til now, that is shocking. He deserves a long ban for that kind of crap.

    Did the Hibs guy get sent off or what happened?

    No, he was booked iirc

    One player from each team was sent off later in a different incident

    Very undeserved yellow for Riordan so. He just stood there! Probably will end up missing a match in a few weeks due to a few yellows, including this!

    Mate, I know you're a decent fella but you should be discussing what he did not posting innane pics like that.

    McGregor cheats far more than most.

    To be honest, the discussion isnt exactly overwhelming in this thread is it?
    You posted a youtube video of celtic fans singing about McGregor....hardly awe inspiring stuff dude.

    As for McGregor, hes an idiot, we all know that. As to wether he cheats "More than most", i disagree. He gets himself caught up in stupid and petty arguments, and his off field antics are well documented. But a serial cheat? I dont see it.
