My Rangers future ‘needs to get sorted soon’ – Ferguson

After their Europa League defeat to Athletic Bilbao, Rangers’ manager, Barry Ferguson, claims that their future “needs to be sorted soon” because they still have a “lot of work to do.”

Rangers made it to the quarter-finals after Ferguson had pushed them past Fenerbahce in the last 16 with goals from Oihan Sancet and Nico Williams at San Mames.

The former club captain has won four, lost four, and drawn two of his ten matches as the manager, replacing Philippe Clement in February until the end of the season.

When Ferguson was asked about his future, Ferguson responded, “Where this leaves me now is that I’m going to finish the season as strongly as possible.”

“I haven’t sat down and discussed it,” but it needs to be resolved quickly because the club needs to do a lot of work.

Ferguson acknowledged that Rangers were defeated by a “qualitative side” at Bilbao.

He lamented two decisions, including a shirt pull on Cyriel Dessers that might have earned him a penalty and a red card despite the goalless game, that he believed could have altered the game.

However, Athletic continued to dominate the tournament despite the officials’ objections, winning in the end.

With only five league games remaining and the title almost over, Rangers will be looking at Ferguson’s fate as part of their plan to overhaul their squad and takeover.

He said, “I was enjoying myself, but I also had an opportunity that not many people get.” It would have been crazy if I had pushed it back.

Following the Athletic defeat, Rangers captain James Tavernier backed Ferguson.

The 33-year-old claimed he was organizing but “switched off” as Oscar de Marcos picked out Williams for the second goal in Bilbao, and that he also accepted responsibility for it.

The defender continued, “We need to reflect on this season because it hasn’t been good enough.” There will be a lot of change, according to the statement.

In the next five games, I would be watching the younger players if I were Barry’s age. Incorporate them in the squad to determine their level of maturity.

Because you always want something to play for, it’s a terrible situation to be in.

Steven Naismith, a former Rangers striker,

It’s past time for this month. It will be very difficult to motivate everyone until the takeover is confirmed.

Unconsciously, the level drops when there is nothing to play for.

Fans of Rangers, please let us know what you think.

Should Ferguson take over as Rangers’ permanent manager? What strategy should he use for the season’s final five games?
