Connor Barron lifts lid on 'individual sessions' with Rangers boss Ferguson

Rangers midfielder Connor Barron has revealed that he has been doing individual sessions with Barry Ferguson. 

The 47-year-old was appointed interim head coach of the Ibrox club over a fortnight ago following Philippe Clement's dismissal. 

Ferguson has taken charge of three games so far, having won two and lost the other. 

He has been working not just in games, though. Indeed, Ferguson has been closely collaborating with central midfielder Barron behind the scenes.

Speaking ahead of Rangers' Europa League last-16 second leg against Fenerbahce tomorrow evening, the 22-year-old lifted the lid on their sessions: "He (Barry Ferguson) has been great," he said.

"He has had some individual sessions and taught me some things I can work on. It is great to learn from him and to help [me] improve.

"All the staff have been great, and it has been really clear messaging going into the games."

Rangers hold a 3-1 lead going into Thursday's return leg. 

Goals from Cyriel Dessers and Vaclac Cerny have them comfortably ahead in the tie, although it is far from over in the eyes of Barron: "All the boys are buzzing for the match," he said.  

"It's a massive tie and we know it is not done.

"We implemented our game very well last week, it worked well and was a real team performance."
