Rangers have appointed their former captain Barry Ferguson as interim manager until the end of the season to replace Philippe Clement, the Scottish Premiership side said on Monday. Belgian Clement was sacked on Sunday the day after a 2-0 home Premiership defeat by St Mirren left second-placed Rangers 13 points adrift of rivals Celtic in the standings.

Former Rangers midfielder Barry Ferguson will meet with the Ibrox club today to hold talks over succeeding Philippe Clement as interim manager until the rest of the season, according to talkSPORT

His next managerial role came in 2018 when he joined Kelty Hearts and, in the 2019-20 season, they won the title after it was curtailed due to Covid-19 but were not awarded with a play-off spot to break into the SPFL due to the early finish of the campaign.
