Barry Ferguson Steps Up as Rangers' Interim Manager
Barry Ferguson has taken charge of Rangers as interim manager following the sacking of Philippe Clement, promising to instil “energy” and “desire” in the team. Ferguson, a former Rangers captain, addressed the media for the first time since his appointment, expressing confidence in his ability to lift the squad after a disappointing run of results, including back-to-back home defeats to Queen’s Park in the Scottish Cup and St Mirren in the Premiership. He emphasised the need for players to step up, stating that some may require encouragement while others might need a firmer approach.
Ferguson, who has been out of coaching for three years, admitted he was surprised to receive the call to take over but quickly agreed to the role. He has only had one training session with the squad ahead of his debut against Kilmarnock but remains optimistic about turning around the team’s fortunes. The interim manager has brought in former Rangers teammates Allan McGregor, Neil McCann, and Billy Dodds to assist him, highlighting their experience and understanding of the club.
In his first match in charge, Ferguson made a bold early substitution, replacing defender Clinton Nsiala after just 29 minutes as Rangers trailed 2-0 to Kilmarnock. The move signalled his intent to address issues on the pitch swiftly, though the team ultimately struggled to recover. Ferguson acknowledged the challenges ahead, including the pressure to deliver results and the criticism surrounding his appointment due to his lack of top-flight coaching experience. However, he remains focused on improving performances and restoring pride at Ibrox.
