Allan McGregor completed 90 minutes in Scotland’s shocking defeat to Israel on Thursday night – and some Rangers fans on Twitter praised him for his heroic performance despite ending up on the losing side.

Alex McLeish’s team slipped to a 2-1 defeat out in Israel in the Nations League, but the scoreline could have been much worse if not for a number of top saves from Scotland’s number one.

Charlie Mulgrew had put the visitors in front in the first-half from the penalty spot, but a second-half comeback from a team ranked 94th in the world stunned Scotland.

Rangers goalkeeper McGregor had a much busier night than he may have expected and saw his net peppered at times in the contest against Israel.

The 36-year-old veteran has been in brilliant form since he re-joined the Gers in the summer and that has seen him take the number one position off Celtic counterpart Craig Gordon for Scotland.

He is playing a vital role for Steven Gerrard’s side and has particularly impressed in Europe with some top performances.

A selection of Light Blues supporters hailed their shot-stopper McGregor for his performance at international level and have become used to seeing that high standard this season.

Here is some of the Rangers tweets on the goalkeeper’s display:
