Barry Ferguson issues response to permanent Rangers position poser

Barry Ferguson has insisted he hasn't even thought about his role at Rangers extending beyond the summer.

The club hero has been appointed the head coach on an interim basis until the end of the season after Philippe Clement was dismissed.

Ferguson has vowed he will give everything in the post as he targets a return to form at the club after the Scottish Cup exit to Queen's Park and loss to St Mirren.

But, the former Ibrox captain was coy on whether he could remain at the club beyond the end of the season should things go well.

"I'm not even thinking that far in front," he said when asked if he hopes the interim spell could open doors to a role next season. 

"The only thing I'm concerned about is Wednesday night at Kilmarnock, if I am being brutally honest with you. I'm here until the end of the season.

"But my main objective is to start winning games on a consistent basis. So one game at a time. And that's what I'm at tomorrow. I'm fully focused on Kilmarnock.

On whether the role would be too good to turn down should he be offered the management position on a permanent basis, Ferguson added: "I'll be honest with you, I've not even thought about that.

"My mindset at this moment in time is getting a result against Kilmarnock tomorrow. It's one game at a time.

"There's a lot of games coming up over the next period. My thoughts are, I'm here until the end of the season and I'm going to give it everything I have got to try and start to get results for this football club."
