Before the Rangers’ victory against Celtic, Barry Ferguson disregards the staff.

Rangers defeated Parkhead 3-2 on Sunday afternoon, and Barry Ferguson gave it his best to taste victory in his first Old Firm match.

Hamza Igamane, Mohamed Diomande, and Nicolas Raskin’s goals were sufficient for all three points, and the away supporters came home in style.

Even while it won’t change the Scottish Premiership’s final destination, it was a fantastic outcome and might improve his prospects of keeping the position going after he led the Light Blues to the Europa League quarterfinals earlier this week.

Ferguson’s actions against Celtic could irritate Rangers staff. Ferguson could have been forgiven for benching a number of his best players for the match against their Glasgow rivals, and Rangers’ historic triumph over Fenerbahce on penalties was noteworthy.

Nevertheless, he chose to start four players even though Philippe Clement frequently referred to the club’s sports scientists as telling him that they were in the “red zone.”

Ferguson was warned that Mohamed Diomande, Vaclav Cerny, Dujon Sterling, and Leon Balogun were fitness risks, but the interim manager disregarded the advice, according to the Daily Record’s print edition (19 March, page 46).

Ferguson’s gamble for the Rangers pays off. Ferguson’s risky decision to defy his medical staff’s advise paid off in the end, as his team won a historic triumph.

It will give them impetus moving forward, but it won’t do anything to close the domestic deficit for Brendan Rodgers’ team, which is currently at 13 points with eight games remaining.

Additionally, if the Light Blues go past the Spanish squad, it will boost their confidence going into difficult Europa League matches against Bilbao and possibly more formidable opponents. Ferguson’s prospects of landing the permanent position have improved over the previous week thanks to two significant wins that highlighted his tactical prowess.

After their takeover is finished, the 49ers Enterprises will undoubtedly have no choice but to hire him if the Gers continue to win under his direction.

Despite his lack of top-level managerial experience, he has defeated Brendan Rodgers and Jose Mourinho in a matter of days, and his enthusiasm in the dugout is a pleasant diversion from Clement’s wretched reign.
