Jekyll and Hyde Rangers are throwback to team I played in and these could be the reasons for the madness – Barry Ferguson
In his latest Record Sport column, the legendary Light Blues captain has his say on the stunning win in Nice – and what must come next for his old club
Sitting eighth in a 36-team table with some European giants, above the likes of Manchester United, Tottenham and Roma and just three points behind leaders Lazio.
Yet third in the Scottish Premiership – the 11-point gap to leaders Celtic the same as it is to Kilmarnock who are sitting in tenth.
THREE goals in the first half away to the team sitting fifth in France’s Ligue 1 – that’s one more than in FIVE domestic away games combined. Honestly, if Philippe Clement had any hair then he would have been pulling it out on Thursday because I know many Rangers fans are. The 4-1 win against Nice on Thursday night was a sensational result and I won’t listen to anyone trying to play it down because of the home side. That’s a team unbeaten in eight games in one of the Big Five leagues in Europe.
No, instead, from a Rangers point of view it has to be the blueprint. I’m starting to sound like a broken record but that’s the standard they have set and they must stick to it. Not only in Europe, but domestically as well.
