Rangers appoint Ferguson interim head coach after Clement dismissal

Barry Ferguson has been appointed as Rangers' interim head coach following the sacking of Philippe Clement, who left after a disappointing season culminating in a 2-0 defeat to St Mirren. Ferguson, a club legend, has quickly assembled a coaching team including former players Neil McCann, Billy Dodds, and Allan McGregor. Despite his surprise at the appointment, Ferguson is ready to take on the challenge, stating he should be judged at the end of the season. Meanwhile, Steven Gerrard has emerged as the frontrunner to replace Clement permanently; however, he is currently unable to accept a new role until at least April due to potential tax complications from his recent stint in Saudi Arabia. The board's decision to sack Clement was seen as overdue, given Rangers' lack of silverware this season. The club is aiming for a swift return to success, with Ferguson tasked to stabilize the team until a permanent manager is appointed.
