for all fans who keep going on about McGregor not a right back and others played "out of position" dare I remind everyone that
1 Jimmy Millar was a wing half then centre forward
2 derek Parlane was a wing half then centre forward
3 John Greig was an inside forward, then wing half, then full back
4 Willie henderson played both wings
there are dozens of examples of "playing out of position" throughout the history of football.

Players CAN adapt!! if given the chance to play, THAT is what we are NOT good at!!

I actually think that mcgregor was really good at right back. Obviously better than what we had.
And when we went for him and Wallace as wing backs for a couple of games, those two were brilliant (well better than the other below average players!)

Vote for best Rangers player playing out of position must go to Graham Roberts, a natural between the sticks.

Wee bill

So in 143 years of existence u can come up with 4 other players who were played out of position? I don't think you can compare McGregor to the players you mention? Also why play a centre half at right back when there are plenty of right backs available? All people want is for players to be played in their natural position. Is that too much to ask? I've seen Messi make some really good tackles but wouldn't play him as a defender

OP

The players you list were all top grade footballers at best Scotland internationals in todays terms European level class players

McGregor was the best of an awful defence in 2nd tier of Scottish football even in his best position he is barely average
