Personal life

edit

In June 2022, McGregor became engaged to Hibernian teammate Siobhan Hunter on holiday in Tenerife.[15] In January 2024, both were given a leave of absence by the club after Hunter's mother suffered serious injuries in an accidental fall, coincidentally also occurring in Tenerife.[16][17]
