what a Captain , Legend 🔴⚪🔵
Barry Ferguson is the best Rangers player in my lifetime. He was a hero even though he's about the same age. Class act. Great club captain. He won us the league twice nearly single handed.
What a legend! One of Rangers best! Made other players in the team better as well, would love a player like him in the team under Stevie G.
Gerrard manages a totally new team you muppet...its called The International Rangers FC.....formally Sevco 5088

55 BABY yeah woooooo
@@andrewshepherd1579 Cool story Bro.
Rangers Legend
Working Class Hero
Got it both ways; up there for thinking and doon there for dancing
Wish him all the very best in his coaching career & hopefully see the True Blue in the hotseat as our Gaffer one day NS
God help us
I cried when you left. Won’t lie. Okay I was like 7/8 but damn I cried and I cried when you came back and I cried when you left for good. Why you do this to young me Barry
I was raging and only as I got older did I forgive him. We never knew the whole details though.
Same
Still never played a forward pass yet. Massively overrated.
Barry thank you for your service to the club and I’m sure you’ll return 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Selling pies and bovril 🤣
Barry Ferguson, Rangers legend. Watched him as a youngster and going through the ranks to team captain .
Wasn’t good enough for Blackburn rovers but is one of Rangers best ever players.
If this doesn’t sum up the Scottish league I don’t know what does
Hope tae see Barry bk doing something at Ibrox in the future one of them players that was a Rangers boy through and through not just there for a wage 🙂😎 great wee player in his day 100%
The Best.
We all know how much his brother had in his decision to leave.
Leaving to go to bloody Blackburn for pennies (for a player like Barry) was a bit of a kick in the teeth. The fact he also got MoTM in just about every game he played for Blackburn just proved that he should've went to a team in the top 4 at least. You were my hero Barry, and leaving the way you did broke my heart.
Should be back in some capacity.
He's learned the hard way, and now seems mature enough to fill some role at the club. He's Rangers to the core, and would teach the younger boys what it means.
He can’t he works for the BBC and they are boycotting ibrox... Barry has only been in ibrox once since we went down and Rangers had to pay him to come
@@terrencemunro sure bbc are banned
@@jamiebaggs6045 no there not mate, Chris McGlaughlan is banned (for one side reporting) the rest of the BBC are welcome... it’s the BBC who have chose not to enter ibrox
@@terrencemunro you cant post that without also posting your source. (Reply to your first post)
@@terrencemunro correct. (Reply to you second post)
We still love you baz always will be a rangers legend in his own right
Celtic fan here - hated him as a player but when you hear him talk he’s sounds like a really decent guy
I hope one day, Barry will return in a, Coaching role......
Good player doesn't necessarily make a good coach. Love Barry and hope he goes on to have a good career as a Gaffer.
Hes not a good coach at all.
Why, he's mediocre at best, so why?
Ferguson is a very poor coach..
Does he ever fucking look as if he's getting older 👀👀👀👀LEGEND
Yes
My favourite ever Ranger. World class.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧💙CAPTAIN
Great for rangers and absolutely fantastic for Birmingham City
At least he ventured down south unlike brown whos never had the balls to test himself south of the border even if it was only for a while fergie still had the balls to do it 🇬🇧
He literally says he wish he never
Best CM I’ve ever seen in my lifetime at Birmingham, absolute class act
Natural leader and superb captain for Rangers, legend for life.
...I'm sure he was smashing in Scotland...but...he couldn't hack it in the Premier League first time around and second time around he couldn't hack it and dropped down the divisions in England...
Imagine bazza back at rangers in a coaching role? Rangers would most definitely produce the best midfield players in europe, imagine being a young midfielder learning your trade you have great potential and rangers ask you to sign for them,you get to work with one of the best midfielders England has ever produced in Gerrard and the best midfielder scotland has ever produced in barry fergusson and the best centre midfielder Scotland produced in the late 80s early 90s ,the amount of information these 3 guys could give you, that's an ibrox dream team plus would be fergies quickest route to the ibrox manager, obviously we are all delighted with Gerrard and what he's doing for the club but having that security knowing if liverpool lure Gerrard back to Anfield fergusson is the next rangers manager 👌 that would obviously be the perfect scenario for rangers and surely the convaere belt of midfielder's that would come through the academy would help rangers on the park and financially. ❤💙🇬🇧🇬🇧
Best in Europe bahahahahahahaha!The most exaggerated comment of all time.
@@anthonyoneill9053 😂😂😂more exaggerated than Griffiths saying Celtic are the best team in Scotland naaa more exaggerated than Celtic supporters saying Duffy is going to stroll this league 😂😂naaa , why are you still obsessed with the famous? If it's because you genuinely want to watch a good team play this season then fair dooz 😁
Thanks for everything Barry 👏🏻💙
Just love for this legend 🔴⚪🔵
YOU WERE NO BAD BARRY ,LOL FKN LEGEND
As a Celtic and Scotland 🏴 fan. This man was a fantastic player. Even with Boozegate the press made it out worse than it was. Was committed to both club and country. Excellent player.
wen he came back all he did was pass side to side and backwards compared to first time he was there he was always passing forward killer balls
Barry Ferguson bleeds Rangers! FACT 💙 🇬🇧
Can't compare the Tierney situation. Arsenal are a bigger club than Celtic. That's not a money move.
He'll go on to even bigger things, he's too good for arsenal and any celtic fans still holding a grudge against him need a reality check
Aye right Barry 🤮
He stood up at a player of the season awards ceremony and said he couldnt wait to sign on for another 4 years , month later he was off to blackburn ! Tell the truth barry you wanted to go to the EPL .
For me one of our greatest ever, gutted when he left, literally crying the night on transfer deadline day when the breaking news hit late on that he was on his way back up the road. Watching him live was just a privilege, the simplicity, yards he created himself with 1 touch, the driving into the opp gaps, pulling the team forward, demanding standards etc etc. Was at Wembley watching him run the English ragged the night Dom Hutchison scored the winner.. a 21 year old lad dominating apparent world class players. For anyone involved in coaching or kids involved in the game that play in that position, he’s the example. Pure class.
1st time was for the money, 2nd time is because he was a prick and pissed off Walter
mad how Barry looks younger now than when he was playing!
Do you not feel footballers in general look older for their age 😂
That's the pressure of having to perform every game for 1 of the worlds biggest clubs in an absolutely diddy league
@@grantross3600 what?
Botox.
New teeth
Hair transplant
A man's man. 😆
The mans forehead is frozen. His eyebrows dont move. Lol
If you think that makes you look younger ?
I think it makes you look.like.a fud
Rangers to the core
The interviewer asking about wages and calling him fergie wtf
😂
Still my hero Barry lad ❤️💙❤️
Ma favourite Ranger.. Wee Barry 👌🇬🇧
Best Rangers Midfielder I ever saw play for us.
BF the legend. If he had a shave he'd still look 19 lol
Damn.. I haven't seen Barry Ferguson on TV since Alex Mcleish days in the early 00s. Still looking good for his age
Celtic man here but always admired Ferguson. Proper professional. Great player. To be told your boyhood club that you dreamed of playing for were selling you must be really tough.
I will personally never criticise him for leaving in 2003. Club needed the money
I can remember meeting the Rangers team with loads of other fans in there hotel over in Bratislava.. fergie & hemdani got in the hotel lift after signing a few autographs and never saw me and my 7 year old son.. fergie turned round to hemdani and said “I’m sick of these people”
Imagine tho every 5 mins of your life when your out in public people asking for your autographs and pictures eventually you’d get annoyed
@@Qwertyisgajidbd If that was the case then you would step back into the shadows after retirement... not pop up on the BBC, PLZ, Go Radio, the Record... come on mate Fergie, was/is/always will be/ an attention seeker.
@@terrencemunro I know what you mean and fair enough it is true but I think no matter who you are signing autographs and pictures will piss you off now and then.
Some people really take the piss asking for autographs hanging off shoulders, putting their arms around you tugging your jacket, shoving paper and pens in your face. Imagine this happenings several times a day. Some people think they demand a god given right to get their attention approaching them when they're in Asda with the wife and kids, tugging their jumper going Barry Barry Barry or approaching them at dinner tables in restaurants shoving paper in their face.
Personally for me, I don't even like shopping in my local Tesco cause I hate meeting people I grew up with having to stand chatting for ages so I go to far away ones, I can't imagine what it's like being famous
@@graeme2011 I've just burst out laughing at this as i've just moved back to where I grew up and there's a Tesco right next to me. After only a couple of shops I was telling my Mum last night how I'll have to do my shopping back to where I was before for the same reason as you.
Two sided diamond, ferggie Gazz priceless them days
THE MOST OVERATED PLAYER EVER TO PLAY IN SCOTTISH FOOTBALL AND AN EMBARASMENT TO THE SCOTLAND TEAM.......UP THE RA.....YMM4LIFE......
Celtic fans watching this rock solid hearing Rangers & making money
He was never the same player when he came back. Didn't he have a really bad injury down there.
He shattered his knee cap in a game for Blackburn
Fantastic player Barry Ferguson. Absolutely full of skill when he was on the pitch and a match for any team he came up against.
You should come back for a couple of years as you would be able too do it Barry
Legend
Would be really good to hear the full story from Barry. i feel he is holding back some information none the less he was one of the best who helped ranger's 👍💙
We all know he's leaving out that it was his brother who told him to go.
Best feeling was seeing you back home Fergie. My captain 🇬🇧
fergie was one of the best midfielders weve ever had he falls into magregor at celtic catagory hes one of the best midfielders they have and prob be there till he retires fair play but aw they players are hard to come by now because theres no good b team set up that can bring players into the first they want to buy european shite thats no good to scottish football and scottish clubs are throwing there money away on utter dug shite
Hardly played a bad pass never mind a game,,,,just not enough Barry Ferguson's coming through ,,sadly our academy is a fuckin joke ,,,wid love 2 know why but one thing for sure sports science has ruined football,,Ryan Jack should of been back about a month ago but sport science says not ready,,laptops,,in dugouts really why not stay at home and zoom call the team unfuckinbelavable how the snobbery brigade hav won the beautiful game stinks off corruption,,Lawell Neil Doncaster the English cricketer who runs the SFA gees peace
What a legend... massive rangers legend !!!
I'm a rangers fan, If i was playing for rangers, I would want to leave rangers to play in England, Spain, Germany, Italy or France to play at the highest level, because i know won't win the champions league realistically speaking especially in this day and age, so I would be happy to leave rangers to further my career
As much as am a die hard Celtic fan gotta say he was some player him and Paul Lambert two of the best the country has produced
lambert my erse
L Malarkey. Both those men Scottish too, that’s what’s missing at both clubs. Just my opinion.
Hibs fan here, but always liked Barry.
He left cause he’s an alky haha 😂 😂😂😂
Love him to bits but don’t talk shite Barry you put a transfer request in. Admittedly you regretted it but using the money thing is just an excuse. You took it for playing for us for granted, end of story.
Correct, but he also put in a transfer request to come back.
What a player. Club legend. 💙
Haha this is you man rangers.
barry when you leave rangers you can only go down
square baw barry ffs
He was right to want to test himself against top players week in week out. It is natural and should be an ambition for every player to aspire to play at the highest level.
But apparently beating Motherwell easily in front of 45000 adoring fans makes up for being out of Europe before Christmas.
Great player but don't forget how he left second time round, with the Scotland saga. Disrespected the club and Walter by not keeping his head down after being told to. His performances after that were awful, especially his final game in the Scottish cup final
People make mistakes in life. Some are grateful for a second chance like Barry, who has learned from it and matured with age
Barry will gladly tell you he and McGregor both regret that Scotland decision and as a consequence what happened at Rangers because of it.
We barry the legend
Club still fucking died 🤣
One of the best 🇬🇧
He’ll be the manager one day
Hope so 💙❤💙❤
Legend at sevco...not so in England. Went on to top Scottish mnagement...at Alloa Athletic.
😂😂😂
Respect Fergie you gave the 🐻 your all you were class and the game at ibrox against Parma you gave world cup winners a game 💙
Don't forget the games against Bayern Munich and Valencia. We should have gotten out of that group. Group of death and we came SOOOO close...
@@randommadness1021 we’ve had some good European nights and some heavy groups
@@c4m774 that group is the one that always stans out to me as being the biggest underachieving team we had. If Mols hadn't gotten that injury, he might have been able to quickly get back up and belt the ball into an empty goal then only gods knows how far we could have went. To think a team like that never made it out the group but a team with centre backs playing as full backs, second choice keeper and only 1 left footed player in the whole squad made it to the UEFA CUP FINAL is just madness. Or was Beasley part of that squad? I know we played McCulloch out on the left in front of Papac quite a bit...
Hated Ferguson with a passion when he played against us but I would have loved his passion in a celtic top back then with hindsight ive listened to him talk on many occasions and have a lot of respect for him now
one of the best young midfielders to come through at ibrox and he's scottish there won't be another like him for a while as soon as dick advocate gave him his chance there was no looking back and to get the captaincy at a very young age I was gutted when he left to go down south and then he came back up the road and we all know what happened after that the v sign scandal that ended his time at ibrox but he will be remembered for what he achieved absolute legend ..🔴⚪🔵👍
Mickey Mouse league the Scottish prem is!!
Compare Bazza to Billy Gilmour. One is a true fan the other is a pretender! Imagine leaving before you have even pulled on the jersey of your boyhood heroes!
Aye a can see it fae the money side right enough pitty we didnae ken he was gona do a jump ship like Tierney did waste o time developing players like that and wee gilmour should have left him alone if that's how he was gona treat his boyhood club 100% certain he wouldnae be playin in EPL if we hadn't developed him turn coat we bastard.
@Steven Gray He would of been setup for life playing for The Rangers or playing for us for 4 or 5 years then moving on and getting the club money... He couldnae wait to get out the door. No true Ranger would ever do what he done not before putting on the jersey.
@Steven Gray Rangers every day of the week. His parents most of been in some anount of crazy debt for him to choose not playing for the team he grew up supporting if what you say is true.
He wants to be best player he can be. That can’t be achieved at staying at Rangers….let’s be honest. He made the right decision when u like look at where he could end up…
Looks like he can still play lol
Dyes his hair!
Best Rangers player ever
Are you serious
Doesn't sound true tbh
Rangers wis 🤔 no rangers are
I love Ferguson but I dont believe his side of the story about having to leave to get rangers money. Hes already admitted he fancied trying England. I remember mcleish at the time saying they were trying to convince him to stay but Ferguson was 'troubled'
His brother was in his ear constantly telling him to go and test himself down south.
WATP!!
Verminnn.
One of the greatest Bears...
Was a season ticket holder when Ferguson left for Blackburn. He got dogs abuse from some of the support during his final match (against Hibs, I think) at Ibrox. It was a bit over the top.
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣😂 MOTM really 🤣 what games Wer u watching bk then.
@@AS-ww3fe
Prior ti the match it was in the papers that he was leaving. Some of the support were not happy about this. I don't recall whether he had a good game, but my comment had nothing to do with his performance that day?
Lies lies lies. The only captain to ever hand in a transfer request. That’s his legacy
Watched him at Blackburn under souness what a major disappointment he was his heart wasn’t in it said he was homesick and ended up at Birmingham
You clearly never watched him at Blackburn. He got MoTM in almost every game he played.
Stop talking shite R
@@randommadness1021 Source: trust me, bro
@harrydrake4173 Yep. He literally shattered his kneecap and was still their best midfielder at that time by some distance. Plus homesick to Birmingham? 😆
@@randommadness1021 Season ticket holder here pal yes he played some good games but I Personally thought his heart wasn’t in it slagged us off a little when he left can you not remember 👍
All rangers fans need to see this as some still hold a grudge against Barry and they don't know the full story.
The full story is the dog handed in a transfer request
Why? He's not telling the truth. He wasn't pushed out the door like he's suggesting here. He handed in a transfer request after winning the treble with us in 2003 and after thinking he had achieved everything he could with us listened to his brother and put in a transfer request.
@@randommadness1021 exactly. Broke his knee and came back, couldn’t hack the pace of the EPL. Came back to Rangers did his bit, did some more. Walter Smith realised why he caused trouble and sold him to Birmingham City. He scored 4 goals down south for all his English teams. Wasn’t even in the same league as Gerrard, Scholes, lampard, Fletcher, Carrick never mind guys like Ballack, Vieira, Fàbregas, Alonso, Modrić or Essien.
@@ajjohnstone7063 Fletcher? As in Darren Fletcher?
@@randommadness1021 aye. Fletcher for Man U. 5xEPL’s, 1 Champions league, FA cups, world club cups and double the amount of Caps too!
He simply wanted to play in England, more money etc... So stop pretending
Legend ... he’s a big part of our football club’s history !
🔴⚪️🔵 🏴🏆🇬🇧
Hes talking pish. He signed a massive contract, then a week later he told Murray he was leaving.
Awww wee Barry. Lol one day his beard will thicken up and join in with the rest of his fluff. 😂😂
God this is a total ned....he speaks like one too...
I wonder if he supports the newco Rangers or as we call them, the tribute act.
That was me that made that call 🔴⚪🔵😁
He was no where near good enough to play in England
