A former Rangers duo has found themselves at odds over the potential hiring of a Champions League-winning manager. The two former players, who both had successful careers at Ibrox, have expressed differing opinions on the matter, highlighting the complexity of the decision.
On one hand, former Rangers captain, Barry Ferguson, has come out in support of the potential hiring, citing the manager’s impressive track record and ability to bring success to the club. Ferguson, who played for Rangers from 1997 to 2003 and again from 2005 to 2009, believes that the manager’s experience and expertise would be a major asset to the club.
“I think it would be a great appointment,” Ferguson said in an interview. “The manager has a proven track record of success, and I believe he would be able to bring a level of stability and consistency to the club that has been lacking in recent years.”
On the other hand, former Rangers striker, Kris Boyd, has expressed reservations about the potential hiring, citing concerns about the manager’s style of play and ability to adapt to the Scottish Premiership. Boyd, who played for Rangers from 2005 to 2010, believes that the manager’s tactics may not be suited to the Scottish game, and that the club should consider other options.
“I’m not convinced that the manager’s style of play would be a good fit for Rangers,” Boyd said in an interview. “The Scottish Premiership is a different league to the ones he has managed in before, and I think he would struggle to adapt. I think there are other managers out there who would be a better fit for the club.”
The differing opinions of the two former players highlight the complexity of the decision facing Rangers. While Ferguson believes that the manager’s experience and expertise would be a major asset to the club, Boyd is concerned about the manager’s style of play and ability to adapt to the Scottish Premiership.
Ultimately, the decision will come down to the club’s board of directors, who will need to weigh up the pros and cons of hiring the manager. While it is impossible to predict with certainty how the manager would perform at Rangers, one thing is clear: the club needs a manager who can bring stability and success to Ibrox.
