According to reports in Turkey, the former Rangers goalkeeper is expected to fly out to Istanbul within the coming days to sign a two- year deal.

Besiktas thought they had recruited the Scotland No.1 – who elected not to transfer his contract over to the Rangers newco – a fortnight ago but a deal could not be completed. If McGregor signs for the Super Lig side this time around, he will follow in the footsteps of former Rangers team-mates Kris Boyd and Kenny Miller who both had brief, unsuccessful recent stints in Turkish football.
