Ferguson is the latest interim boss at Ibrox

Maurice Ross, a former Gers right-back, has delivered his verdict on the process and has backed Ferguson to get it permanently.

It’s what the club and owners were looking for at that moment in time,” he told The Rangers Review.

If you could feel Ibrox before Barry came in, it was getting edgy, and the fans were starting to turn, so I think the club were looking for a bit of buy-in from the fans so the takeover would go smoothly.

“His results have been good so far, just the energy of the football club, the fans have got a bit of pride back, I think Barry and his staff and the players have done very well so far.
