Rangers captain James Tavernier has shed light on the situation surrounding Barry Ferguson’s continued involvement with the club, despite growing fan frustration and widespread calls for his dismissal. In a candid statement, Tavernier revealed that the board has been reluctant to sack Ferguson due to internal politics and longstanding loyalty to the former player. Ferguson’s legacy as a club legend appears to be shielding him from immediate consequences, even though his recent actions and decisions have come under intense scrutiny.
Tavernier acknowledged that the dressing room atmosphere has been tense, with many players confused about the board’s inaction. According to him, the leadership is prioritizing personal relationships and past glories over the club’s current performance and future success. He also noted that this hesitation is sending the wrong message to both the squad and the supporters, who are demanding accountability and change.
Fans have taken to social media and public forums to voice their disappointment, insisting that Ferguson’s time at the club should come to an end. They believe that his presence is holding the team back and that the board’s failure to act is damaging Rangers’ ambitions. Tavernier’s comments have only intensified the spotlight on the club’s leadership and their next move.
