Rangers legend Barry Ferguson refuses to rule out becoming the Ibrox club’s new sporting director following the sacking of Kevin Thelwell. 

CEO Patrick Stewart and Thelwell were brutally sacked on Monday after a terrible start to the campaign.

The pair were instrumental in the failed appointment of Russell Martin who was sacked after 123 days in charge, and they also oversaw a £40 million squad revamp that hasn’t lived up to expectations.

Thelwell received huge backlash for sanctioning the controversial £8 million signing of Youssef Chermiti – a player whose only found the net twice in the last two years.

Chairman Andrew Cavenagh says the search for their replacements is under way but insisted there is no rush.

The January transfer window is approaching soon and head coach Danny Rohl will no doubt be looking to add some freshness to his squad.

Former interim Gers boss Ferguson has been linked with making a stunning return to the Govan club, but this time as sporting director.

Speaking on The Go Radio Football Show, the 47-year-old was asked about potentially taking on role if he was offered it. He said:

“Listen, in terms of my future I’m very comfortable what I’m doing at this moment in time. You can never say never. Listen, it’s a club that I think everybody knows what it means to me and I just want to see them being successful. That’s the main thing for me.”

Ferguson added that he hasn’t been approached by his former club regarding the position but praised Cavenagh with his bold decision-making over the past few weeks.

“You’ve got to be fair to the chairman over the last four weeks, he’s made three huge decisions.

“He’s changed the manager very early, it was his decision, and now two other high profile people at the club. He is very clear on what he wants to do and how he wants to do it, and if that means making changes so early in his time at the club he is going to make them if you don’t perform.”
