BARRY FERGUSON’s first game as the interim Rangers head coach will see him take on one of his former Ibrox team mates.
The Gers hero was announced as the club’s caretaker manager yesterday, assisted by three fellow Light Blues legends.
Ferguson, 47, won 15 trophies across two spells with his boyhood heroes and in that first spell he played alongside current Kilmarnock boss Derek McInnes.
Indeed, the young Ferguson’s emergence in the midfield arguably played a part in McInnes eventually leaving Gers in 2000.
The two will now pit their wits against one another in the dugout, with McInnes’ vast coaching experience going against Ferguson’s relatively sparse managerial record.
When it comes to the two teams themselves, Rangers of course go into this one on the back of another shock defeat, this time to St Mirren at Ibrox, and the 2-0 loss was enough for Philippe Clement to finally lose his job.
Killie meanwhile were beaten 3-2 by Hearts at Tynecastle, leaving them in ninth position in the Premiership table.
Here’s all you need to know ahead of the match.
How Ferguson approaches his first game as Rangers manager is anyone’s guess.
He was a fan of 4-4-2 at Clyde but used a 4-2-3-1 at Alloa.
In terms of injuries, that’s one thing he and Clement will have in common.
Ferguson won’t be able to call upon Connor Barron, John Souttar and Dujon Sterling for the clash in Ayrshire.
McInnes meanwhile has been dealing with injuries to captain Kyle Vassell and defender Stuart Findlay and while both of them are expected to return soon, this one might be a game too soon.
Kilmarnock 5/1
Draw 16/5
Rangers 1/2

A MAJOR A-road used by 40,000 motorists every day is due to close this weekend for roadworks.
Diversions will be in place whilst the structure maintenance takes place, but drivers are being warned to give extra time for journeys.
There will be carriageway closures between the exit and entry sliproads at Junction 9 on the A1 (M) at Letchworth gate in both directions.
The work started on February 24 and will continue through to March 1.
Drivers will need to follow diversions through the up and over slip roads, which will bring cars back onto the A1 (M).
This comes after the M4 was shut in both directions after a body was found on the carriageway.
The tragic discovery of human remains were found between junctions 20 and 21.
Avon and Somerset Police said that the force was called at 6.40pm on February 22 and human remains were found when officers arrived at the scene.
In a statement, National Highways said: “Road users caught within the closure will be released by turning around under supervision of our Traffic Officers and police.
“This is a complex operation and will take time due to the location and volume of traffic.”
Avon and Somerset Police said in a full statement: “The M4 is closed in both directions after a body was found on the carriageway between junctions 20 (Almondsbury Interchange) and 21 (Awkley).
“Police were called at 6.40pm on Saturday 22 February by several drivers reporting something in the road. Officers attended and found human remains.
“Enquiries are underway to identify the deceased and notify next of kin, while an investigation to establish how the person came to be on the motorway continues.
“The road is expected to remain closed into the early hours of Sunday 23 February.
A MUM was stabbed to death with a zombie knife in front of her three-year-old daughter on Notting Hill family day, a court heard.
Cher Maximen, 32, was knocked off her feet when a brawl erupted on August 25 last year.
The Old Bailey heard Shakeil Thibou, 20, had attempted to stab Adjei Isaac when he instead knifed the mum in the groin.
Adjei had managed to survive by just “centimetres” after moving his body away from the zombie knife, jurors were told.
Cher, who was with her daughter, was rushed to hospital but sadly couldn’t be saved and died six days later.
Shakeil denies murder, attempted murder, and having an offensive weapon, namely a knife.
His brothers Sheldon Thibou, 25, and Shaeim Thibou, 22, are accused of being involved in the fight.
Opening the trial today, prosecutor Ed Brown KC said the “truly shocking” violence erupted at around 5.48pm.
The defendants and two men allegedly began fighting – causing the crowd to part and a police officer, PC Oliver Mort, to step in.
Sheldon Thibou, who was holding a stun gun, allegedly attacked the officer with Shaeim.
Meanwhile, Shakeil Thibou thrust a “huge” knife repeatedly towards Adjei’s stomach – only missing him because the victim moved back.
Prosecutor Edward Brown KC said: “You will see that Cher Maximen had been knocked to the ground in the immediate events as Adjei Isaac recoiled from Shakeil Thibou’s knife.
“In his efforts to save himself from the knife attack, he had come into contact with Cher.
“It is clear that she had simply got caught up in the events.”
The court heard after she was knocked over, Cher attempted to pull herself up using Shakeil Thibou’s coat.
She then attempted to “strike out” at Shakeil, who allegedly raised the zombie knife and “deliberately thrust it towards her, stabbing her in the groin”.
He then fled the scene with his brothers as Cher fell injured to the ground, jurors heard.
Shakeil, of Hammersmith, denies murder, attempted murder and having an offensive weapon.
Sheldon, of Fulham, and Shaeim, of West Kensington, deny violent disorder and assault on an emergency worker.
The trial continues.
TRIBUTES have been paid following the tragic death of a rugby player whose family is pleading for help to bring him home to Ireland.
Graham Murray, 34, died in a crash on Thursday, February 20 in the UK, where he has lived since moving from Cork.
His death prompted a deluge of tributes for a man who was described as a “proud Irishman and true gentlemen”.
Before moving to England, he was a popular figure in his hometown of Douglas, having played for the local rugby club from a young age.
After moving to England, meanwhile, ‘Poochie’ kept up his rugby exploits with Beckenham RFC.
In a loving tribute to him, Douglas RFC revealed that all of the club’s sporting fixtures were postponed last weekend as a mark of respect.
A club statement read: “Graham was a devoted husband, father, son, son-in-law, brother, and brother-in-law.
“He was a fantastic clubman, teammate and friend to all that knew him.
“He played for Douglas RFC from underage to J1 level and was part of the team that won the Martin O Sullivan Cup.
“He certainly did not fit the mould of a traditional prop with his side steps, drop goal attempts and his ability to confuse the opposition and indeed his own team mates at times!
“He will be fondly remembered for his match day kits which were often a mix and match from several clubs.
“Grahams passing will be deeply felt by everyone that knew him as a great character who always lifted the spirits of anyone who came into contact with him.
“He will be sorely missed by his family, friends, and the wide rugby community.
“We wish to pass on our heartfelt condolences to his beloved wife Aisling, son Tadgh, parents Theresa and James, brothers Alan and Jason and in-laws.”
Murray was laid to rest last Sunday in his adopted home of Beckenham.
And a GoFundMe page has been set up to raise funds in order to bring him home to his home county of Cork.
The campaign, set up up Colin Andrews, has raised £57.000 at time of writing.
Alongside photos of Murray, the page described him as a “dear colleague” whose professional life was “marked by his kindness, generosity, and willingness to help anyone in need.”
It read: “Graham was a beloved husband to Aisling, a devoted father to Tadhg, and was eagerly anticipating the birth of their second child. He was a cherished son, son-in-law, brother, brother-in-law, and friend.
“A proud Irishman and true gentleman, at O’Halloran and O’Brien Graham’s professional life was marked by his kindness, generosity, and willingness to help anyone in need.
“His unwavering politeness and professional demeanour made him a pleasure to work with and speak to every day.
“His thoughtful words and actions continue to inspire us to lead with kindness and compassion.
“His love for rugby was evident throughout his life—from his childhood club, Douglas Rugby Club in Cork, to his dedicated support and play for Munster and Beckenham RFC.
“Known affectionately as ‘Poochie’ at Douglas RFC, he carried his remarkable skill, infectious smile, and generous spirit to Beckenham RFC, where he became legendary for his unpredictable play—his dynamic running, offloading, and kicking game—and for providing the club with the worst excuse for being late to training: “concrete Tuesdays.”
“Most recently, Graham was captain of Beckenham RFC 2XV, having previously been a key member of the 1XV squad for many seasons.
“With nearly 150 caps, he played an essential role in the 1XV league-winning sides of 2018/19 and 2021/22 and was instrumental in the 2XV’s promotion last season.
“Graham’s deep connection to his heritage will be honoured with his repatriation to Ireland, where he will be laid to rest in his homeland.”
Hollywood and anime are interconnected in more ways than you’d think. For decades, American directors like Quentin Tarantino have been inspired by Japanese animation. This also ties well with the actors partaking in animation projects headlined by Japanese Studios but this isn’t boding well in any case. This is particularly true with a recent dub […]
