Ferguson won’t be joining the Ibrox clear-out, say Rangers

RANGERS chairman John McClelland has warned other clubs that captain Barry Ferguson will not be joining the list of Ibrox departures.

Aston Villa are the latest club to be linked with the Scotland international where new manager David O’Leary is already a keen fan of the midfielder from his days as Leeds boss.

Ferguson has only recently signed a new deal at Ibrox which will keep him at the club until 2006 after leading the team to the domestic treble this season despite losses of £52million being posted last September.
