Instilling a winning mentality and promoting aggressive, attack-minded football. These philosophies were evident in Rangers’ recent 4-3 victory over Dundee at Dens Park. Despite trailing 2-0 and 3-1, the team showcased resilience by mounting a remarkable comeback, with Cyriel Dessers netting the decisive goal in the 93rd minute.
Ferguson’s influence was also apparent in the earlier 4-2 triumph against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park. After conceding two early goals, Rangers rallied to score four in response. Ferguson credited this turnaround to the team’s renewed fighting spirit, stating, “I’ve installed that in 48 hours.”
Beyond fostering mental toughness, Ferguson has prioritized an aggressive playing style. Upon his appointment, he articulated his vision: “The message would be you are going to see a team who are going to have a certain style of play, attack-minded and we are going to try to win every single game.”
This commitment to proactive football was evident in the Europa League last-16 first-leg match against Fenerbahce. Ferguson’s strategic shift to a 3-4-2-1 formation led to a 3-1 victory in Istanbul. He praised the team’s performance, highlighting their commitment, desire, and quality of play.
Under Ferguson’s interim leadership, Rangers have demonstrated a revitalized spirit and an assertive approach, aligning with the club’s storied tradition of resilience and attacking prowess.
