ALLAN McGREGOR last night revealed his anger at Rangers’ treatment last summer — and insisted he still LOVES the club.

The Scotland keeper quit Ibrox a year ago to sign a two-year deal with Besiktas.

He walked after refusing to transfer his contract when Gers were punted into Division Three.

But they didn’t get a penny for his move to the Turkish giants.

McGregor, 31, has finally broken his silence on the Gers saga.

He said: “Rangers are a great club and a very large institution.

“Since childhood, my ambition was to be No 1 for Rangers and I managed that.

“It wasn’t easy for me. Rangers didn’t just drop into the Third Division, they were voted there. I still can’t believe it happened. It was an impossible situation for us.

“There was a vote and Rangers were put into the bottom league.

“They said it was about the spirit of sportsmanship and maintaining the integrity of football.

“We will see whether if that is still the case in two or three years.

“Rangers had serious financial problems and, more importantly, had an axe over its head because of a tax debt.

“But the problem was the owner of the club didn’t pay anything for ten months, so it was malicious intent. They could have paid it off by selling a few players.

“Before the vote, the Kilmarnock chairman said they needed Rangers because of the income they bring to his club and argued they should still be in the top division.

“There was talk of putting them down a division or changing the league structure. Some clubs even wanted Rangers banned completely.

“The Rangers chairman said after the vote: ‘At least the Third Division wanted us’. That was a very funny statement to me.”

McGregor insists he has no regrets about moving to Turkey — even if he admits to missing the intensity of Old Firm derbies.

“The Rangers-Celtic rivalry isn’t as bad as it was. Both clubs have had intensive discussions with the police, which has helped,” Greegs told Turkish magazine Tam Saha.

“The atmosphere here is slightly different. They are more crazy! It’s a compelling league and tough.

“Istanbul is a beautiful city and the people are extremely friendly.

“But what I didn’t expect was the high price of houses and the terrible traffic!”

I don't want him or any of his ilk at ibrox ever again,either as a player or a so called "supporter"

He fairly burned his bridges and for me he can rot on the other bank of the swollen river.

He like the rest aren't welcome in the sou'side let alone Ibrox and another thing if Rangers ever let any of these chunks use the facilities at Murray park......well that would show a lack of respect to the fans.

It annoys me because I loved shagger and all he had to do was stick it out for a couple of weeks and get himself a move whilst the club got a small fee.....for someone who says he loves the club there is no justification for doing that other than money and that's why he went to turkey....I just expected a bit more from Naismith, Davis and him and that's the disappointing thing!
