Former Rangers striker Duncan Ferguson is interested in discussing the vacant Dundee United hot seat after the humiliating sacking of Jack Ross.
Ex-St Mirren, Sunderland and Hibs boss Jack Ross was sacked this week after a 9-0 demolition from Celtic tipped the Arabs hierarchy over the edge.
This devastating result meant that Dundee United had conceded 23 goals in their last four games, with only one in reply, and the writing was undoubtedly on the wall as a result.
Now attention will turn to who Dundee United want as their new manager at Tannadice with former Arabs striker Duncan Ferguson amongst the fan favourites for the role.
Ex-Rangers star Duncan Ferguson open to Dundee United role
According to the Dundee Courier, Duncan Ferguson is open to discussions surrounding the job after leaving his coaching role at Everton earlier in the year.
Ferguson, 50, announced his exit from Goodison Park to pursue opportunities as a first-team manager but since leaving clearly hasn’t found the right opportunity.
All things considered, this looks like it might change at Dundee United should the Arabs be interested and should any discussions go to plan.
Big Dunc is a hero on Merseyside and remains a prominent figure amongst the Everton support but before moving down south the controversial former striker turned out at Dundee United and Rangers.
Rangers signed the striker from Dundee United for a then British record transfer fee of £4m in 1993 but the forward’s time in Glasgow was marred with controversy.
After serving a prison sentence for a head butt on Raith Rovers star John McStay, the fraught relationship Duncan Ferguson had with the Scottish footballing authorities impacted his time in Scotland.
A return to the country would be box office for many with Ferguson more synonymous as a player with his time down south at Everton and a short stint at Newcastle United.
Meanwhile, a leading Rangers club insider has dropped a major hint regarding the future fee attached to a loanee taking Ibrox by storm.
