Rangers appoint Ferguson as interim coach

Barry Ferguson has been appointed as interim Rangers head coach after Philippe Clement’s sacking.

Clement was dismissed on Sunday after a 2-0 home defeat to St Mirren left Rangers 13 points behind Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic.

Rangers also crashed out of the Scottish Cup with a shock defeat to second-tier Queen’s Park.

Ex-Scotland international Ferguson, who played for Rangers for 10 years across two spells with the club, has now been appointed until the end of the season.

“We appreciate [Ferguson] and his team stepping into the role at this difficult time,” Rangers chief executive Patrick Stewart said.

Ferguson’s first match in charge will come against Kilmarnock on Wednesday.
