McGregor set to feature for Hull despite reported Rangers interest

Posted Friday, April 27, 2018 by PA

Scotland international Allan McGregor is set to play for Hull at home to Cardiff, despite being strongly linked with a summer move to Rangers.

McGregor is out of contract at the end of the season and Hull want the veteran goalkeeper to stay at the KCOM Stadium.

The Tigers have been boosted by the return of Adama Diomande to the training ground after two months out, although Hull’s final Sky Bet Championship home game of the season might come too soon for the Norwegian striker.

Fikayo Tomori is expected to come into the back line after last week’s incredible 5-5 draw at Bristol City, while Kamil Grosicki and Abel Hernandez are also pushing for starting spots.

Midfielders Aron Gunnarsson and Callum Paterson are expected to be fit for promotion-chasing Cardiff.

The pair picked up knocks in Tuesday’s 3-1 defeat at Derby, but Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock will consider his options and on-loan Liverpool midfielder Marko Grujic could be recalled.

Kenneth Zohore could also be in line to return, while Craig Bryson is available again after being ineligible against parent club Derby.

Wales defender Jazz Richards has returned to full training following a long-term ankle problem, but is unlikely to feature.
