Why new Rangers coach Allan McGregor is the only one who can unlock Ivor Pandur
Rangers have officially replaced Sal Bibbo with Allan McGregor as their new goalkeeping coach.
The ex-Gers shot-stopper is back at the club after taking up a similar role during Barry Ferguson's interim spell in charge during the 2024-25 campaign.
Derek McInnes seems intent on restoring some identity to the Light Blues and the new appointment does just that.
McGregor also seems like the perfect example for Ivor Pandur to follow if he wants to succeed at Ibrox.
The former Hull City goalkeeper completed a £6million move to the Glaswegian outfit recently and there will surely be a lot of pressure on his shoulders as the new number one.
Jack Butland experienced plenty of ups and downs during his time at the Govan side and the Croatia international will now face scrutiny from fans in G51.
Ivor Pandur can take one lesson from Allan McGregor at Rangers
McGregor was part of Hull's promotion-winning team back in the 2015-16 campaign and Pandur achieved the same feat at MKM Stadium before moving to the Gers.
The transition from English football to the spotlight in Glasgow can be relentless, and the goalkeeping coach can certainly guide the 26-year-old through that.
Pandur can arguably be considered the best keeper at Hull since McGregor and he now has to do the same at Ibrox.
There are a few parallels between the two and the Govan side's Hall of Fame inductee can show the youngster the ropes to succeed in G51.
Ivor Pandur at risk after what Allan McGregor has done at Ibrox
McGregor isn't the sort of character who is going to sugarcoat the reality at Rangers, and Pandur must be mentally prepared for it.
The Croatian goalkeeper's character and resilience will surely be tested under the veteran coach, and he has no room for error.
Butland faced a reality check at Ibrox towards the end of the 2024-25 campaign after he was dropped from the starting lineup in favour of Liam Kelly.
McGregor was part of Ferguson's backroom staff back then and must have undoubtedly had a say in the Englishman falling down the pecking order, something Pandur has to be wary of.
