Former Rangers captain Barry Ferguson has slaughtered ex-Ibrox coach Pedro Caixinha and said he “never got Rangers” during his time at the club.
The Portuguese flop will go down as one of the most expensive and embarrassing in the Ibrox club’s history with the experimental manager never settling into Scottish football.
Pedro wasted millions of pounds on absolute garbage whilst shipping out some of the club’s best star’s for relative peanuts.
Beyond that the hapless coach also experimented with some of the most bonkers formations and line-ups you’re likely to see in Scottish football.
Ferguson was speaking on Open Goal’s popular Keeping the Ball on the Ground show about an interview he did for a coaching role at Ibrox.
“Yes I did (meet Caixinha),” said ex-Gers captain Ferguson.
“Oh my God.
“I am glad (I didn’t get the job), mate. The guy never got Rangers – I don’t care what anybody said.
“He was asking about the Scottish game.
“So I started talking about Pittodrie, Tynecastle, Easter Road, Fir Park, horrible places to go and play.
“You’ve got to change sometimes, sometimes you have to roll your sleeves up and win the battle.
“But he is looking at me and saying no I play this way and this way only.
“I said its not going to operate, its not going to work at Rangers.
“He just looked at me and I thought ‘I have nae chance of this job!’
“I’m glad I never got it because see if I did work with him I would probably have got sacked after three or four weeks.
“Because the guy never got what Rangers is all about.”
Fellow panellist and ex-Rangers star Andy Halliday would also reveal that Ferguson even told Caixinha that he wanted to be sitting his seat when asked where he’d like to be in five years.
Pedro’s time at the club will go down as amongst the most disastrous in our history and the money spent then and failure to deliver set Rangers back two years.
