BARRY Ferguson has lifted the lid on the day Paul Le Guen told him he had no future at Rangers.

The former Light Blues skipper fell out with the French manager and was stripped of the armband after Le Guen claimed he was being undermined in the dressing room.

An argument after a defeat to Inverness Caledonian Thistle in late 2006 led to an extreme reaction from the former Rennes and Lyon boss, but he would last just seven months in Glasgow before being sacked.

Ferguson reflected on the moment he faced off with Le Guen in an interview with Open Goal, explaining: “Yves Colleu, who was assistant manager, came in and said ‘Paul wants to speak to you’.

“I went in to his office and went to sit down, and he said: ‘Don’t sit down, that’s you finished, you won’t play with Rangers again.’

“Five, ten, seconds later, he said ‘please leave’. That was it. I walked out and went to grab my bag.

“I was in a complete daze because the boys at that stage, some were getting changed, some were walking in, some were up having lunch.

“I had to get out because my head had gone. I would have done something stupid, I’m not scared to admit that. I probably would’ve.

“So I had to get my bag and get out as quickly as possible. People were shouting on me, ‘where you going? Where you away to?’

“I ignored everybody. I had to get out of that situation I was in.”

Ferguson won five league titles, five Scottish Cups and five League Cups during two spells with Rangers.
