Rangers sweat over Fergie fitness

RANGERS manager Walter Smith faces an anxious wait to discover whether captain Barry Ferguson will be fit for tonight’s Champions League opener against Stuttgart at Ibrox.

The midfielder aggravated a knee ligament injury, which he had been carrying for several weeks, in training on Monday and now faces a late fitness test.

Ferguson was a surprise omission from the team which started against Hearts in the SPL at the weekend, with Rangers slumping to a 4-2 defeat.
