John25 i'm hearing stories/ rumours from a few fellow bears this evening that gio is poised to bring in a final coach and member of his backroom team and the two names in the frame are allegedly barry ferguson and kevin thomson ? Have you heard anything yourself regarding this mate, or has any other fellow bears heard this out there ?.

No, it would be an absolute embarrassment if it’s Ferguson. never a coach.

Where are you hearing that? Don’t you know the well respected and very highly regarded Glasgow Rangers former star Kevin Thomson?

Sirwalter, if I remember rightly you mentioned this way back when Gio signed.

Barry I feel would be over bearing amd over opinionated behind the scenes and would likely have an wits on top job.
No disrespect intended b it I believe he would even stick on the knife if it meant him getting the job

It I don’t know enough about but seems to be highly regarded as a coach.
Time will tell.

Thot thommo left kelty for dundee or raith was it? he's been his own boss surely not come back to rangers to be in background again? We have plenty coaches now gvb vos and makaay. fergie absolute no no.

Love is in the air ❤️

KT (I luv KT btw) must be number 2 at least in his next role and he won’t get that under Gio

Barry doesn’t have enough between the ears to have an impact in intelligent players as a coach.

Thought Kevin Thompson was going to qpr with mick Beale?

Ibrox4me yes i know KT but he's very professional and keeps these things close to his chest mate.

No! Just Nò, KT has to make a name for himself at a higher level of management, BF, just No!

Ask anyone at Alloa why it can’t be Barry. Things went tits up very quickly in that dressing room.

I hate Ferguson he’s a wee back stabbing rat, no wonder Walter got rid of the wee snake, he’s a Judas.

@lithium1872, that's a shocking way to be speaking about one of our former players/ captains.

Although I love Ferguson no way shape or form is he right for a coach of Rangers always a legend though. as for thomo I could see that but he would do better following his own path coach would be a step back, his career had started a lot better than most should be looking for first Division job or even spl.

Lithium 1872 only seems to be one back stabbing rat as far as hearing he's a Rangers legend and gave his all for club. This is a Rangers fan page we treat our players with respect.

Ferguson was a fantastic player for us, but the coaching side doesn't seem to be for him. Too outspoken and I wouldn't be keen to see him involved personally.


17.) 21 Jun 2022

So Thomson's good material but Ferguson isn't despite the latter having a better record at Kelty than the former?


18.) 21 Jun 2022

Rfcrb1872 kelty were also a league below for ferguson than what it was for thomson.

Would personally like to see both KT and BF as part of the backroom team. We need those who understand the importance of grinding out wins in the spl against the so called smaller teams, not just performing in the big games.

no idea what barry is like as a coach, i knew him and derek as kids, brilliant players, barry was miles ahead of his time, but, il take johns word on his coaching abilities.

I would have thought that GVB knows the importance of winning every game from his time with us. I wouldn't disagree that we could do with someone that is in a managerial position at a SPFL Team, just not sure that there is anyone of the right calibre. Would like to see Thomson get a bit more experience before he returns.

Berkshire if it someone who can coach, has done it at various levels, is highly respected and would not try to dominate gios team look no further than Ian Mcall.

Tom it’s only my opinion, u know I have been wrong in th past, more than once.

Barry was one of the best midfielders around when he played for us. I remember him playing so called world class midfielders off the park in Europe.

Should’ve left rangers after the 99/ 00 season amd went to Germany he's have moved onto England and been one of the very best in the world he stangmats amd jnjuries ruins him in later years
I’d have been devastated at the time but looking back I wish he had went and smashed it.

john, i played with ian back in the day, he was a young boy, btw, a very very talented player, and someone who knew the game inside out, i met him when he was at ibrox a couple of times, he knows his stuff all right, i definitely agree with that shout.

One of my good mates played under Ian mcall at ayr utd. Absolutely raved about his coaching.

Tom, I always thought that Derek Ferguson was a quality player in the days of him and Durrant. Fully agree that Barry was exceptional, would cost an absolute fortune these days!
