Barry Ferguson confesses undying Rangers return hope as he eyes next management step after quitting Alloa

Barry Ferguson admits he would still "love" a return to Rangers after resigning his post at Alloa.

The Ibrox legend handed in his notice this afternoon just eight months after leaving Kelty Hearts to take over at the Indodrill.

He had targeted taking Alloa back into the Championship after their relegation last season, but leaves with the club facing a relegation scrap in League One.

But Ferguson still hopes to one day find a route back to his former side.

He told the Go Radio Football Show: "I don't care what level it is, whether it's 11-year-olds or a seasoned pro, at some stage I would love to get back to Rangers.

"There's no doubt about it but it's not happened for a number of reasons.

"It's still my club and I'll support them. I watch them, I hope they win every single game they play in."

Ferguson has previously held talks with Pedro Caixinha over becoming his assistant boss.

But he admits he never felt it was going to work under the flop boss.

He continued: "I was in for talks when Caixinha was there. I had a meeting. And I just felt it wasn't going to work.

"He had totally different ideas and you've got to respect that. He was asking me about different sides of the game in Scotland.
