The Gers have endured a turbulent run of results, with back-to-back defeats in domestic and European competitions raising serious doubts over their credentials. Yet, Ferguson remains optimistic that Rangers can turn their campaign around if they rediscover consistency and belief.
“It’s been a really poor start, there’s no denying that,” Ferguson admitted. “But there’s still a long way to go in the season. If the players can find some rhythm and start grinding out results, they can absolutely get themselves back in the title race.”
Ferguson, who captained Rangers to multiple league titles during his playing days, urged the current squad to show more leadership and resilience in the face of growing criticism.
“This is when you find out who’s got the character to wear that shirt,” he said. “Rangers can’t feel sorry for themselves. They’ve got to stand up, take responsibility, and start winning games again.”
Rangers currently trail arch-rivals Celtic by several points and face increasing pressure from fans demanding improvement both in performances and results. Manager Russell Martin has come under intense scrutiny, with sections of the support calling for changes to restore the team’s fighting spirit.
However, Ferguson believes the season is far from lost.
“We’ve seen in Scotland how quickly things can change,” he added. “A run of five or six wins and the whole picture looks different. It’s about momentum — and Rangers need to find it fast.”
The coming weeks could prove decisive for Martin’s side, with crucial league fixtures and European ties on the horizon. For Ferguson, though, hope still remains that the Ibrox giants can mount a late surge and reignite their pursuit of the Premiership crown.
