Rangers Confirm Barry Ferguson Departure After Interim Spell

Barry Ferguson has left his role as interim manager of Rangers following the conclusion of the 2024-25 season, with the club confirming he will not continue in the position permanently. Appointed in February after Philippe Clement's dismissal, Ferguson managed the team through 15 games, securing six wins and memorable moments such as progressing to the Europa League quarter-finals and an Old Firm victory at Celtic Park. Despite his desire to remain, the club decided to move in a different direction as it prepares for new ownership and a squad revamp, with Ferguson’s coaching staff also departing. Rangers CEO Patrick Stewart expressed gratitude for Ferguson and his staff’s efforts during a challenging period, highlighting their admirable performance and the strong support they received from fans. Ferguson described the opportunity as living the dream, having already experienced success as a player and captain at the club, and looks forward to remaining an ambassador for Rangers. The club is actively searching for a permanent manager amid an impending takeover by US investors.
