GERMANS PLAN MOVE FOR GERS ACE McGREGOR

 

ALLAN McGREGOR could land a shock move to German club Hannover 96.

 

The Bundesliga outfit have targeted the Rangers keeper to replace unsettled Robert Enke.

 

German international Enke has entered the final year of his contract and has refused to sign a new deal after being linked with Bayern Munich and a return to former club Benfica.

 

And Sport of the World can reveal Hannover are lining up a �£3.5million bid for McGregor, 27, to replace him.

 

The controversial goalie lost his place to Neil Alexander at Ibrox last season following the Bevvygate furore and has no Scotland future.

 

Now he may cut his losses and rebuild his career in the cash-laden Bundesliga.

 

McGregor's value has plunged since he was rated at �£8million after signing a new four-year deal with Gers in 2007. And it's unlikely the cash-strapped Scottish champs would stand in his way if they received an offer of around half that valuation.

 

Hannover first spotted McGregor's ability in a pre-season game against Gers two years ago.

 

They were reminded of his capabilities during Walter Smith's side's run to the UEFA Cup Final last year.

 

McGregor played the game of his life against Werder Bremen to help the Light Blues into the quarter-finals.

 

Hannover boss Dieter Hecking has kept tabs on him ever since.

 

However any deal hinges on Enke moving on this summer. The former Barcelona keeper, 31, wants one last crack at Champions League football before he retires.
