BARRY FERGUSON started SWEATING with excitement during his first interview as Ibrox boss as he prepared for his first day as Rangers manager.
The former treble-winning captain returned to Ibrox as interim boss after Philippe Clement was sacked on Sunday.
The Belgian’s backroom team of Stephan van der Heyden, Colin Stewart and Alex Rae were also axed – paving the way for an Ibrox reunion in Ferguson’s staff.
He brought back old team-mates Allan McGregor, Billy Dodds and Neil McCann to take the team until a permanent successor is found.
They kick-off as caretakers against Kilmarnock on Wednesday.
And Ferguson is relishing his chance at managing his boyhood heroes, after starring as player, captain and Hall of Famer.
He’s pledged to give fans ‘something new’ and insisted the “flat” squad needs confidence from his new-look coaching team.
He said: “It’s been a whirlwind 24 hours but I’m just happy to get it done, get my staff together and get into the training ground to get going.
“I’ve not been here in the training centre for a while and there have been changes.
“Training will be tough but enjoyable. It’ll be a certain standard which I would expect.
“It’s serious when it comes to 90 minutes, its all about winning at Rangers – that’s how I was brought up and that’s how I want my players to be.
“You have to win every game – the demands and expectations are put on you here to win games, and I don’t think we’ve won enough this year.
“It’s been inconsistent – look at Europe, come performances have been top class. Domestically – that’s your bread and butter, that’s what you have to win most weeks.
“There have been too many bumps in the road so it’s my job and my staff’s job to get a level of consistency from the players.
“They are a good group, they just look a bit flat at this moment in time but its our job as a staff to get that confidence back up.”
Ferguson admitted he didn’t think the call would EVER come – but he’s formed a coaching set-up until the end of the season with some ex-team-mates and Issame Charai.
He added: “If I’m honest I didn’t think it would ever come – I’ve been happy doing what Have been doing in the past few years since I came out of coaching as a club ambassador, I’ve enjoyed that role.
“When I was asked it was a job I couldnt turn down – albeit its only three months i know that.
“But its my job to get a kick out this group of players and when I’ve watched them there are really good players so its our job as a staff and mine as a manger to get the best out of them.
“I’m going to be the manager, I have brought in Billy Dodds and Neil McCann who have had previous experience as managers, I played with them and know their characters and know how good they are on the training pitch, and obviously Allan McGregor everyone knows what he did with the club.
“I’m excited with my staff – when I asked them I was unsure if I could get them but they were great and the first point was ‘desperate to come and work for you’ and thats what I want.
“I’ve spent a bit of time with Issame and we spoke about players and the way I want to take the teams forward.
“He will just need to obviously get used to a new coaching team coming in.
“But he’s eager and has a good work ethic about him and that’s important to me, so I’m looking forward to bringing him in with the staff.
“I played under some fantastic managers I learned so much off.
“But I’m my own guy, I have a certain way of playing and you’ll see it straight away and that’s what we’ll work on, on the training field.
“We only have one day preparation before Kilmarnock which is not ideal, but it is what it is.
“I’m not complaining. I’m in a fantastic position but you will see certain differences on Wednesday night.
“[Fans are] going to see a team with an attack-minded style of play and we’re going to try to win every single game.
“We’ll be aggressive – which was a part of my game as well. I don’t mean that in terms of tackling people or going over the top, i mean aggressive in the press.
“We just need to make sure we get it right.
“But when I look at the squad I do see a team that’s capable of winning games week in week out.
“I’m getting a bit sweaty here and ready to go, but every game we enter, we enter to win.”

BEN WHITE has held talks with Thomas Tuchel over a potential England return.
The Arsenal right-back has not played for the Three Lions since March 2022 following an alleged falling out with former assistant Steve Holland at the Qatar World Cup.
Since then, White, 27, has ruled himself out of selection for the national team – missing the run to the Euro 2024 final in Germany under Gareth Southgate last summer.
But Tuchel – who officially began work as England boss on January 1 after his October 2024 appointment – has made contact with White to determine whether he should include him in next month’s World Cup qualifiers squad.
England face Albania on March 21 before taking on Latvia on March 24.
German coach Tuchel has spent the first seven weeks of his reign attending more than 20 live games across Europe and speaking to players in person or over video calls – including White.
Speaking at the 2026 World Cup draw back in December, Tuchel confirmed that he would reach out to White and that has now happened.
It is unknown what was said in the pair’s chat, as well as whether Arsenal would allow the player to join up with England having only just returned from a three-month lay-off after knee surgery.
But Gunners boss Mikel Arteta said back in March 2024: “As manager I want the best for him, personally and professionally, and he really needs to feel it.
“Hopefully he’s prepared to represent his country in the best way possible one day. That would be the best option for everybody. But that’s completely up to him.”
White would be competing with the likes of Kyle Walker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Reece James and Tino Livramento, but offers great versatility as a right-back, centre back and midfielder.
He has four caps, and made his senior debut on June 2, 2021 in a pre-Euros friendly against Austria. He was not included in the final squad before a late call-up for the injured Alexander-Arnold.
In England’s Qatar World Cup camp, White left early for “personal reasons” without making a single appearance – it later transpired it was down to a comment Holland made to him in front of the rest of the squad.
Upon returning to play for Arsenal, White was abused from stands in the Premier League with chants of: ‘You let your country down’.
Southgate – who resigned after the Euro 2024 final 2-1 defeat to Spain – later stressed it had nothing to do with the player’s relationship with Holland.
James Maddison is among those hoping for an England recall too, while Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner urged the new boss to hand Eberechi Eze a place in the squad.
Speaking after Saturday’s win over Fulham, Glasner said: “I have known him for a year now and he has a lot of potential. If he shows this then he has the potential to be a starter for England.
“In the last weeks and months, he’s had some struggles with injuries and it is now about supporting him to get back into his best shape.”
