Tottenham have made a loan move for Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor.

The News of the World says Redknapp needs a goalie urgently after back-up keeper Carlo Cudicini suffered career-threatening injuries in a motorbike crash.

Now he will bid to take the Gers man until the end of the season - then make the deal permanent in June if the Scot impresses at White Hart Lane.

The Spurs boss is a long-time admirer of McGregor and tried to sign him two seasons ago.

Rangers could save around £400,000 in wages by agreeing to let McGregor head south and Spurs would take that beyond £1million by agreeing a £600,000 'rental' fee to land the keeper.
