It's not the circumstances he would've wanted to walk into. But Barry Ferguson will live the dream on Wednesday night by taking charge of Rangers for the first time.
The Ibrox diehard - who won 15 major honours across two spells with his boyhood club - answered an SOS call from Patrick Stewart on Sunday night after flop boss Philippe Clement was finally put out of his misery. Nobody understands the demands and expectations at Rangers more than five-time title-winner Fergie, and the former skipper will drive the standards for the rest of the season.
First up, it's a tricky trip to Ayrshire as he comes up against ex-teammate and managerial veteran Derek McInnes. Rugby Park has been a difficult venue for Rangers over the years, stemming back to Steven Gerrard's time at the helm. But if Ferguson can get off to a winning start, then he'll instantly lift the gloomy mood surrounding the club. Here, Record Sport tells you everything you need to know ahead of the Premiership clash.
