West London Bear 58 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago EVERYONE at Rangers Football Club would like to pass on their heartfelt thanks to Barry Ferguson and his staff, with yesterday’s game at Hibernian being their final match in charge. Club legend Ferguson answered the call in the club’s hour of need back in February and has overseen several memorable moments during his time in charge, not least progression to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League and a terrific victory at Parkhead. A Hall of Fame member, Ferguson will now leave this role along with Neil McCann, Billy Dodds and Allan McGregor, with enormous gratitude and best wishes of everyone at Ibrox for their efforts in these last few months. CEO, Patrick Stewart, commented: “The club, and I am sure all our supporters, will be forever grateful to Barry for stepping up and taking on the role of head coach. “He and his staff have performed admirably amongst some trying circumstances and achieved some excellent results along the way. “Barry, Neil, Billy and Allan all had distinguished playing careers with Rangers, and they have all enhanced their standing with the club for their work since February. The reception they received at Ibrox on Wednesday night was fully merited, and I know meant so much to Barry and his team. “The search for our new head coach is progressing well, and we look forward to concluding our process in the coming period.” Outgoing Head Coach, Barry Ferguson, added: “I’ve already lived the dream as a player and as captain of Rangers, and to do so as Head Coach in these last three months has been an enormous honour for me. “There have been some ups and downs, but I have loved this experience and given it my all throughout. “I want to thank Neil, Billy and Allan, the three staff members who came in with me, and all the other staff who have supported me during my time in charge. Indeed from everyone at the training centre and at Ibrox, the backing I have received has been phenomenal. “Above all, I want to thank our supporters. There is no doubt this has been a difficult season, but the backing the team and I have continued to receive in spite of that has been incredible. “I have said, no matter how this period panned out, I would always remain a committed supporter of the club, and I look forward to remaining a Rangers ambassador. "I wish whomever becomes the new manager, every success in the job.” No huge surprise I know, but he did step up when asked and for that we should be grateful. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil's advocaat 1,878 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Thanks Barry. I think we'd all have loved nothing more than for Barry to be the one, but it wasn't to be. He's carried himself impeccably well, and has spoken brilliantly in a very difficult period of our history. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 5,726 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago (edited) 13 minutes ago, Rousseau said: He had pashun. Apparently, he spoke well (although half the time the players weren't listening). Must have missed those pressers. All I ever heard was endless clichés, telling everyone "I'll dae it" (manager) and that he was "probably Scottish"😂, whilst alerting Nigel Farage that he could also be a candidate for Govan. TBF to Barry, it was a next to impossible gig and our press team/CEO shouldn't have let him get tangled up by the press last week.

BEARGER 1,919 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago That’s a relief. Never a Rangers manager, as could be said of a few others in the last 13 years. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
