Barry Ferguson ‘meeting held at Rangers’ after Gretar Steinsson reveal
Rangers have a massive decision to make regarding Barry Ferguson, with Gretar Steinsson potentially involved in the process.
The Gers icon was appointed interim manager until the end of the season after Philippe Clement was sacked, and it remains to be seen what the future holds for him.
Ferguson would arguably want to take permanent charge at Ibrox if given the opportunity by the prospective new owners, Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises.
While the former Scotland international might’ve been in the running before, losing to Athletic Club in the Europa League quarter-finals could potentially have dented his hopes of remaining at the Glaswegian outfit beyond this season.
Steinsson potentially involved in new Rangers manager search
Steinsson could potentially be involved in the search for a new manager at the Gers, according to the Daily Record.
The news outlet reports (20 April) that the Icelandic national has already met Ferguson in the last few weeks at the Light Blues.

It’s been claimed that the Leeds United technical director will surely be involved in the process of appointing the next head coach at the Glaswegian outfit.
With Cavenagh and the 49ers closing in on their takeover of the Bears, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for them.
Ferguson stint at Ibrox coming to an end
Ferguson has exceeded expectations since taking charge at Ibrox, but the prospective new owners will arguably want an established manager for next season.
The Gers have had a disappointing campaign domestically, and their only hope of silverware remained in the Europa League, which is also gone now.
While the former Scotland international has shown his managerial nous by beating Jose Mourinho and Brendan Rodgers, his continuity at the Light Blues seems unlikely.
Steinsson could potentially be at Rangers once the takeover is complete, and they may be in for a massive summer under the new ownership, with the Americans expected to alleviate the financial difficulties at Ibrox.
One way the US consortium could generate funds is by selling players, with several key players at the Bears catching the attention of many in recent months.
Aston Villa and Leeds are eyeing Nico Raskin, and the Glaswegian outfit will arguably be able to demand a hefty sum for the Belgium international.
Before any player sales are sanctioned, the Gers will undoubtedly need a new manager in place to determine who’ll remain in the squad for the upcoming campaign.
The takeover at Ibrox can’t come soon enough as there’s a lot of work to be done.
