What Barry Ferguson said in the Rangers dressing room after Kilmarnock win

Barry Ferguson has revealed what he told the Rangers dressing room after their comeback victory over Kilmarnock last night.

Things didn't look good for the Ibrox club after they went 2-0 down within the opening 14 minutes at Rugby Park.

After goals from Vaclav Cerny, Cyriel Dessers and Nedim Bajrami, however, Rangers rallied and eventually emerged 4-2 winners.

Post-match, interim head coach Ferguson, who was only appointed to his role on Monday following Philippe Clement's dismissal, revealed what he told his players after their comeback triumph: "I told them in the dressing room, enjoy these moments, enjoy the wins," he said.

"But listen, we're back in tomorrow at 11 o'clock, and we focus on Motherwell."

Ferguson will be looking to make it back-to-back wins when Michael Wimmer's side visit Ibrox this weekend.

After the clash with the Fir Park outfit, Rangers then turn their attention to a mammoth Europa League last-16 tie against Jose Mourinho's Fenerbache.

Celtic then lie in wait at Parkhead in what is a colossal few weeks for Ferguson and Co.

The 47-year-old wasn't shy to praise his side on Wednesday night after getting his stint in charge off to a perfect start: "I don't know the stats of the record books, I don't know how many teams have come here (Rugby Park) and been 2-0 down, and come back and beat them 4-2 pretty convincingly," he said.

"So, I'm going to give my players credit. Because I don't think they've had enough throughout this season. So, it's about time they gave a wee bit. But listen, I need to see more than that."
