Joe Cole has put forward the case for his former Chelsea and England team-mate Ashley Cole to become the permanent manager of Rangers.
Ferguson – who captained Rangers over two separate spells during his playing days – faced the media for the first time this afternoon after being appointed as the club’s interim manager.
A statement on Rangers’ official website confirmed that the club’s ‘ongoing football review will continue’ and a ‘new, permanent manager will be appointed in the coming months’.
Cole is yet to take on a permanent managerial role since hanging up his boots but has coached in various capacities with Derby County, Everton, Birmingham City and, most recently, England.
Saturday’s loss to St Mirren was Rangers’ fifth of the Scottish Premiership campaign and left the club 13 points adrift of arch-rivals Celtic at the top of the table.
