Barry Ferguson Warns Dundee FC Coach Over Explosive Comments – Legal Action Possible
Scottish football has been rocked by controversy after Dundee FC’s head coach made shocking allegations about Rangers players Cyriel Dessers and Nicolas Raskin. The remarks, suggesting the two players “play like they are on drugs,” have sparked outrage, with former Rangers captain Barry Ferguson warning that legal action could follow.
Controversial Comments Spark Backlash
The incident occurred during Dundee FC’s post-match press conference following their defeat to Rangers. Frustrated with his team’s performance, the Dundee manager took aim at Dessers and Raskin, implying their energy and intensity were unnatural.
“Dessers and Raskin need to be investigated because they play like they are on drugs,” he stated, a remark that has since sent shockwaves across Scottish football.
The accusation has been widely condemned, with many viewing it as both irresponsible and potentially defamatory. Given the seriousness of the claim, Barry Ferguson, a Rangers legend and well-respected pundit, has issued a strong warning to the Dundee boss.
Ferguson: “This Could End in Legal Action”
Speaking on the controversy, Ferguson did not mince words about the potential consequences of such reckless accusations.
“You can’t just throw out statements like that without evidence. It’s completely out of line, and if I were Rangers or the players involved, I’d be considering legal action,” Ferguson said.
He emphasized the damage such allegations could cause to a player’s reputation, adding that Dundee FC and their coach should issue an apology before the situation escalates further.
“To question the professionalism of Dessers and Raskin like that is unacceptable. If you’re frustrated about losing, fine, but this is crossing the line.”
What Happens Next?
The fallout from the Dundee coach’s remarks is only just beginning. Rangers are reportedly considering their next steps, and there is growing speculation that the club could take formal action. Meanwhile, the Scottish FA may also intervene, as the comments could be seen as a breach of conduct.
As for Dessers and Raskin, neither player has responded publicly, but their performances on the pitch continue to do the talking.
With legal threats looming, all eyes are now on Dundee FC and whether their coach will retract his statement or face potential consequences. One thing is clear—this controversy is far from over.
