Barry Ferguson promises 'aggressive, attacking' football in first words as interim

Barry Ferguson says Rangers fans can expect to see a more "aggressive", "attack-minded" style of play as the former captain prepares to begin his role as interim boss.

The club legend was confirmed as the new head coach on Monday following Philippe Clement's departure on Sunday night.

Ferguson will take charge of first-team matters until the end of the season while the club looks to appoint a permanent manager.

In his first interview since taking over at Ibrox, Ferguson told Rangers TV: "You're going to see a team that's going to have a certain style of play, attack-minded, and we're going to try and win every single game.

"We're going to be aggressive, which was a part of my game as well, and I don't mean that by going and tackling people or going over the top with people. I mean aggressive in the press.

"So we just need to make sure we get it right. But as I said, when I look at the squad, I do believe there is a team capable of winning games week in, week out. So I'm just excited to get started.

"You can see I'm getting a bit sweaty here and ready to go. And we'll just, listen, we'll take it game by game, but every game we enter, we enter to win."

Ferguson's first game in charge will be Wednesday night's Scottish Premiership match with Kilmarnock at Rugby Park.
