MacGregor started his rugby career with Glasgow Academicals[3] but moved to Aberdeen in 1983 for work.
[2] In a derby match against Glasgow High Kelvinside in 1989 he scored 17 points in a 21-13 win for the Academicals.
[6] By 1995, the side were playing in Division 3 but MacGregor was still scoring points for the club[7] and he was still getting selected for Glasgow District.
He gave a tribute to his Glasgow coach Kevin Greene: "Kevin Greene, the Glasgow coach, is the kind of man who makes the players think for themselves, like Ian McGeechan, and I prefer that to the blood-and-thunder approach.
I look around at the young guys in the team and they are keen and excited and that makes me feel good about the game.
