After Philippe Clement was last night sacked as manager of theRangers, the word emerging from staunch sources was that Barry Ferguson, the former Kelty Hearts boss, was set to be appointed as the interim manager of the latest Ibrox club…
That certainly amused many a Celtic supporter on social media last night, but many others reckoned that would just be too funny to be true. But sure enough, the Comedy Club, founded by Charles Green in 2012, seldom lets the Celtic support down when it comes to their comical antics.
Today theRangers not only appointed Barry Ferguson as their interim manager but they added Neil McCann, the failed Dundee boss, Billy Dodds, one-time manager at Inverness Caley Thistle and just for good measure, Allan McGregor, the keeper that Jota retired before he headed on his 18 month all inclusive vacation to Saudi Arabia which turned out to be almost as lucrative as a tidy triumph on https://jw.casino/mobile-app/ for the Celtic winger who is now happily back in the fold at Celtic Park.
BBC Scotland confirmed the news stating: ‘Barry Ferguson has been appointed interim Rangers manager following Philippe Clement’s departure, with Neil McCann, Billy Dodds and Allan McGregor assisting the former club captain.’
That’s staunchness off the scale and the four will all take to the dug-out on Wednesday evening at Rugby Park looking to salvage some pride and pick up some momentum in the closing stages of the season before the season ticket renewal forms are issued.
The BBC Sport Scotland update came from the statement that the latest Ibrox club issued this afternoon via their official website, which confirmed that in addition to Philippe Clement, three other coaches have left the 12 year-old club, namely Alex Rae, Colin Stewart and Stephan van der Heyden.
The Rangers CEO, Patrick Stewart, commented:“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.”

Bankrupt Barry and the EBTs ride to the rescue.
