Glasgow Rangers great Barry Ferguson has admitted to BBC Sport that he would love to have a role at Ibrox.

Rangers are reshaping their management team, following the departure of Mark Warburton last month.

Rangers have just appointed Pedro Caixinha as their new manager, but they are still looking for his assistant.

Ferguson has been touted as a potential number two, and the former Light Blues midfielder admits that he would be very interested in helping Caixinha.

“Of course, I’ve said that before,” he said, when asked whether he would like to be Rangers’ next assistant.

“That’s my club. That’s where I was from an eight-year-old kid. I spent 20 years of my life at Rangers.”

Caixinha was in the stands, as Rangers picked up an encouraging draw in the Old Firm derby against Celtic.

Caixinha will be in Rangers’ dug out for the first time this weekend, when they take on Hamilton at Ibrox.

Rangers are currently in third place in the Scottish Premiership table.
