Rangers confirm interim coach appointment until the end of the season | OneFootball

Rangers have confirmed that former midfielder Barry Ferguson will become the club's interim head coach until the end of the season.

Ferguson replaces Philippe Clement who was sacked on Sunday evening following their defeat to St Mirren.

Ferguson spent an accumulative 10 years at Ibrox, winning 15 major trophies.

The 47-year-old's last managerial role came at Alloa in 2022.

Rangers CEO, Patrick Stewart, told the club's official website: "“Philippe and his team have worked tirelessly during their time in at the club and have played an important role in developing the first team’s young players.

“I want to reiterate, the issues we are facing run deeper than the manager. The ongoing football review seeks to address those issues, and we will continue to implement its findings in the coming weeks and months ahead of appointing a new, permanent manager.

“When I spoke to RangersTV last week, I was clear that everyone is judged on results, and nobody will get unlimited time in any role at the club. Ultimately, the team’s response following their early exit from the Scottish Cup was a cause for deep concern, leading the board to conclude that action had to be taken now.

“I want to wish Philippe every success in the future. He is a fine man whom I have enjoyed working with in my short time here so far.

“I also want to welcome Barry back to the club. We appreciate him and his team stepping into the role at this difficult time. Myself, the board and the executive team will give them our full support for the rest of the campaign.”
