Barry Ferguson

Barry Ferguson is Rangers through and through, and I find that loyalty rare in modern football. He came up at Ibrox, became the heartbeat of the midfield, and even his big-money move to Blackburn Rovers couldn't keep him away for long before he returned. An MBE and captaining Scotland tell you how highly he was rated. What interests me now is the coaching turn, including an interim spell back at Rangers, because few players carry a club's identity so completely that they keep getting pulled back. One small note: the data tags him American, but he's unmistakably Scottish.

Barry Ferguson (born 2 February 1978) is a Scottish football coach, former player and pundit who was most recently interim head coach of Scottish Premiership club Rangers. Ferguson spent most of his playing career at Rangers, in two spells either side of a £7.5 million transfer to English club Blackburn Rovers.
