Rangers having to hold back impatient fergy

[Guest Bobbyrfc1]

IBROX No.2 Ally McCoist insists Barry Ferguson is so desperate to get back playing that the coaching staff have to hold him back in training.

 

The Rangers captain hasn't played this season after undergoing ankle surgery in the summer.

 

But the midfielder is nearing a return to first-team action and will step up his rehabilitation when he turns out for the reserves against St Mirren on Tuesday.

 

McCoist said: "Barry is looking great but he wants to run before he can walk so we have to monitor him.

 

"He's desperate to play and hopefully will get an hour in the reserve game."

 

Ferguson (right) also wants to pull on a Scotland shirt again and help our push for a World Cup place.

 

McCoist said: "I'd love Barry to play at a major championship because he deserves it. He can't wait to get back."

Wouldn't be surprised to see him on the bench next week.

The sooner he's back the better if you ask me. Mendes and BF in the middle should be good with Davis supporting on the right. Obviously I reckon Thommo will be the one to drop out

yea am looking forward to him coming back. A think thommo will drop out of the team its a shame but a would have him behind baz and mendes for ma 1st choice centre mids just hope they can play together
