Club career[]

From the village of Dailly in South Ayrshire, McCrorie was scouted by Rangers, the team his family supported, at a young age and started training with the Govan club at the age of fourteen.[2]

On 17 June 2017, after being involved in match-day squads over the previous two seasons without making an appearance,[3][4] McCrorie was loaned out to Berwick Rangers.[5] In December 2017, McCrorie signed a contract extension with the Light Blues until May 2022.[2][6] Despite the Wee Gers finishing third last in the league, McCrorie played a major role that season, winning the club's player of the year award.[3]

On 4 July 2019, McCrorie went on loan to Queen of the South on a deal that was due to run for the whole of the 2019–20 season [8] but he was recalled by Rangers during January 2020.[9] McCrorie was then loaned out to Scottish Premiership club Livingston until 31 May 2020,[9] making eight appearances for the club.[9]

After signing a new contract at Rangers until 2023, McCrorie returned to Livingston on loan for the 2020–21 season on 9 July 2020.[10]

After a first team debut in the UEFA Europa League against FC Alashkert, McCrorie made his first league start for Rangers against Old Firm rivals Celtic on 29 August 2021. McCrorie kept a clean sheet and made vital saves to help Rangers to a 1–0 victory. [11]
