Barry Ferguson reveals his 'biggest takeaway' from interim Rangers job

Barry Ferguson has revealed his 'biggest takeaway' from taking caretaker charge of Rangers

The club legend was appointed interim head coach at the end of February following Philippe Clement's dismissal. 

He has since guided his team into the quarter-finals of the Europa League and secured a memorable 3-2 victory over Celtic at Parkhead, although on the whole, he has a 43 per cent win ratio.

Ferguson took charge of what may be his last game at Ibrox on Wednesday evening, as his team came from behind to put Dundee United to the sword in a 3-1 victory. Goals came from Cyriel Dessers and Nicolas Raskin

The 47-year-old was asked about his biggest learning curves post-match: "My biggest takeaway is that I've got a few more wrinkles, I've got a few more grey hairs, that's for sure," Ferguson initially joked. 

"But listen, I've loved every minute of it. I knew it wasn't going to be perfect when I came in. But I was willing to take that challenge on. And it has been challenging, believe me. It's been challenging. 

"But as I said, every day I walk into a training centre, every day I walk through the front door. It's a privilege to be here and work here. And it's not over yet. It's only one game, and you never know what's around the corner."

Rangers play out their final game of the season this weekend against Hibernian at Easter Road. 

The Leith side made sure of a third-place finish after a 2-2 draw with St Mirren in Paisley on Wednesday evening. 

The match could well be Ferguson's last at the helm ahead of a summer of sweeping changes at Ibrox.
