Ferguson Criticises Rangers After Historic Fifth Straight Home Defeat

Barry Ferguson, interim manager of Rangers, expressed his frustration after the team suffered a historic fifth consecutive home defeat, this time against Hibernian, who won 2-0 at Ibrox. Ferguson criticized the players' commitment and emphasized the need for a more aggressive performance, stating, 'Hibs deserved it. They tackled harder, ran harder and wanted it more.' He acknowledged that the team's pride is at stake as they have fallen 13 points behind league leaders Celtic, who could clinch the title soon. Ferguson vowed to make significant changes before upcoming matches, including a Europa League clash with Athletic Bilbao, insisting he needs a team willing to put in the effort. He lamented the team's inability to perform in less high-stakes domestic matches, saying, 'You're playing for Glasgow Rangers; if you can't get up for games of football then there’s something wrong.' The pressure remains high as Ferguson seeks to restore the club's pride and performance levels.
