only just heard the terrible news. we recently had a thread on who could become a rangers legend well macca is the level you need to be at to be considered. one of my true favourite players ever. rest in peace big man-never to be forgotten!!

[QPR Rickson]

I think we should name a stand after him. Would be a nice touch I reckon. I'm gutted

[Wolfy]

I won't forget his strong battles especially with Hughes. Always held his own. A true Ranger.

RIP Alan

[Romford Hoop]

Saw him play all his home games for Rangers, a great strong defender with blue and white hooped blood.

Met him many times in the players bar etc and he was truly a very decent bloke,one of our true stars from the past.

Very very sad day.

Saddened by the news of Alan McDonald's untimely passing. Thoughts are with his friends and family R.I.P

One of the best defenders this club has ever had.

One of the most loyal players this club has ever had.

A true gentleman and club legend who would walk into any best Rangers eleven, ever.

Unbelievablly sad and upsetting news.

Give the club time to do something fitting and worthy of what the great man meant to those of us who, were privileged to have seen him play for the R's over many years and how he represented our club. I'm sure that those in charge won't let him, or us down.

Tragic news.
As a life long Norwich fan, home and away, I've seen him play countless times.
I've always said that Alan McDonald is the best defender I've ever seen playing against us.
Don't just mean for QPR. But literally the best.
He always seemed to win the ball and bring it out of defence in that calm and unhurried way
that only qaulity players can do.
Also saw him around Hillingdon a few times and always seemed a decent gut

[MiddxCanary]

Sorry meant to say 'quality' and 'decent guy'

[crowlehoops]

RIP Macca - a true Rangers legend

[Mattyqpr]

Massively shocked when i heard the news.

R.I.P Macca

[TBLOCKRANGER]

A true QPR great, played when I was a teenager, what a legend. Very sad. All the best to his family

[lymehoop]

RIP big man, a true legend

[maverick69]

I was very lucky.

As a youngster my family used to get welcomed into the old players bar - and my hero was Big Mac.

Every week he'd be there with his pint and a Benson and say in his thick accent.... with a big smile "Wee man.... have you been good at school this week?". I'd say "yes sir".... like most people probably did.

I'm gutted. And blubbing like a baby.

RIP Macca, will always remember you as one of the best defenders we ever have had.
