Rangers are reportedly considering Barry Ferguson for the permanent managerial role at Ibrox following his impressive start as interim boss. The former club captain, who took charge after Philippe Clement’s departure, has revitalized the squad and guided them to a thrilling 3-2 victory over Celtic at Parkhead.
Ferguson’s tactical approach and ability to inspire the team have sparked discussions among Rangers’ board members about offering him the role on a full-time basis. His leadership in securing a Europa League quarter-final spot has further strengthened his case, making him a strong contender for the position.
A club source revealed that Rangers are evaluating their options but are impressed with Ferguson’s impact. “Barry has brought a renewed sense of fight and identity to the team. The players respect him, and the fans have responded positively to his approach,” the source stated.
Despite the speculation, Ferguson remains focused on the job at hand. Speaking after the Celtic win, he said, “I haven’t thought about my future beyond this season. My focus is on getting results for the team.” However, many believe that a strong finish to the campaign could see Rangers offer him a long-term contract.
While other names remain in the mix for the role, including potential foreign candidates, Ferguson’s deep connection with the club and understanding of its values give him a significant advantage. If he continues to deliver results, the Rangers hierarchy may find it difficult to overlook him for the permanent job.
For now, Ferguson remains in charge until the end of the season, but if his success continues, a full-time appointment could be on t
he horizon.
