Ibrox News.Alex Ferguson appointment at Rangers given seal of approval.

Derek Ferguson would “love” to see Rangers go all out to get Sir Alex Ferguson involved behind the scenes at Ibrox.

Alan Nixon stated in The Sun on Sunday, November 10, that the iconic Manchester United manager has purchased a flat in Glasgow to be closer to his “other team” Rangers. This sparked speculation that Ferguson would be interested in working with the Gers, with whom he has close relations.

And BBC Sport analyst Derek Ferguson believes it is a “no-brainer” for the club to persuade Ferguson to accept a role at Ibrox. “First and foremost, he could probably buy the whole of Govan, never mind just a house,” Ferguson quipped in an exclusive interview with Ibrox News. “Alex Ferguson previously intimated that he wants to be a part of Rangers, or at least have some influence. For me, this is a no-brainer.

“I just think you’ve got to tap into these experienced guys who have won things. I’d have Graeme Souness involved in some capacity because it’s important to not only have guys who know the game inside out, but also those who have won things and have an aura about them.

“Alex Ferguson, Phwoah – he has an aura about him. If we can attract guys like that who are willing to come in and about the club, it’s an absolute no-brainer. I’d love to see that.”

How long was Alex Ferguson at Rangers?

Fergie had a few of seasons at Ibrox as a player, which, to be honest, have not gone down in history as much as his managerial career. Ferguson came closest to managing the Gers, geographically speaking, when he took over Aberdeen and was quite successful. Of course, he is best known for his time at Manchester United, but it is worth noting how warmly he remembers Rangers.
