Fuming Barry Ferguson admitted he was "absolutely raging" after Rangers lost to Hibernian.
The Ibrox boss was left "really angry" after a fifth straight defeat at Ibrox with Hibs claiming a 2-0 win.

"Hibs deserved it, Hibs tackled harder, ran harder, wanted it more and it's sore for me to say that."
Ferguson has insisted he will make changes in the coming weeks as he demanded his players not allow the season to fizzle out.
He said: "I'll certainly be making changes."
