Ferguson must try to find a consistency at Rangers that eluded Clement

Overview

  • Philippe Clement was sacked as Rangers manager after 16 months following a 2-0 loss to St Mirren and earlier Scottish Cup elimination by Queen's Park.
  • Barry Ferguson, a former Rangers captain, has been appointed interim manager until the end of the season, aiming to restore consistency and confidence in the squad.
  • Despite strong performances in the Europa League, Clement's domestic record, including five league defeats this season, led to his dismissal.
  • Rangers' board cited deeper structural issues at the club, with a football review ongoing to address long-term challenges ahead of appointing a permanent manager.
  • The club is also in advanced talks with a U.S.-based consortium, including 49ers Enterprises, for a potential investment deal that could reshape its operations and finances.
