Rangers legend Barry Ferguson clashed with supporters of Alloa Athletic as the manager of the League One club bemoaned negativity from the stands.
Ferguson joined the Wasps this summer following his successful promotion of Kelty Hearts to the SPFL but it’s been an indifferent start to life at the Indodrill Stadium.
The Clackmannanshire side find themselves in 5th place in a competitive Scottish third tier and have won only three of their opening eight league games.
Their latest result was a 1-1 draw away to Dumbarton with Ferguson’s side conceding a late Patrick Boyle equaliser after initialling going ahead through Steven Boyd.
Following the result, there would be frustrating scenes come the final whistle as Ferguson, 43, allegedly clashed with Alloa supporters.

The former Rangers captain – who has also had spells managing Blackpool and Clyde – would then explain his frustrations at the final whistle.
Ferguson would explain that his frustration comes from negative comments from a small section of the Alloa support.
“I’m sick of negative comments. There’s a small selection because the vast majority support the team,” said Ferguson [Football Scotland].
“I understand they want to win every game but when it becomes personal I don’t like it.”
Ferguson will now look to get Alloa back into the Championship following their relegation from the division last season.
The ex-Ibrox skipper done a superb job with Kelty which caught the eye of the Alloa hierarchy but things have been up and down so far with the League One side.
Whilst Ferguson might have some frustrations to iron out in Alloa, Kelty continue to impress under new manager Kevin Thomson, who has continued Ferguson’s fine work.
Kelty currently sit top of League Two, four points clear of Stirling Albion in second.
Some Rangers fans were also frustrated with Ferguson’s decision to move to Alloa after a series of Ibrox run-ins with the club’s chairman.
