"I've only had one training session but I'm not going to use that as an excuse before Kilmarnock.

"We've not filled them with too much info because it's too short notice, but they understand the way we're going to go against a very good manager.

"I expect them to win games and football and give me everything they've got. They fully understand my expectations of them."

Interim boss Barry Ferguson is first asked about what the last few days have been like for him:

"It's been hectic, but also it's been enjoyable.

"Surprised I got the call but it only took five mins to agree to become interim manager.

"Then it was a case of getting my staff together but thankfully that didn't drag on and I got the three guys I wanted."

Here's Barry...

A takeover of Rangers involving the San Francisco 49ers' investment wing is expected to be completed between April and June, sources close to negotiations have said.

There is "broad agreement" between all parties, with current shareholders expected to sell all, or part, of their stake in the club in the coming months.

The prospective owners would acquire more than 50% of the Rangers shares while taking on the debt, much of it owed to former chairman John Bennett.

Paraag Marathe, the Leeds United chairman and the force behind 49ers Enterprises, the investment wing of the 49ers NFL franchise, is a key player in the prospective Rangers takeover.

He has been described by a source familiar with the negotiations as "front and centre", but there is an as-yet-unnamed investor who is said to be as influential in the deal as Marathe.

The front row is packed here at Rangers Training Centre as we await Barry Ferguson and his first media conference since his appointment as interim head coach.

Could be an interesting 20 minutes or so with lots to ask the former club captain.

From elsewhere in Scottish football there will be derision at the old guard being sent for in something of a blind panic. Was John 'Bomber' Brown unavailable? This is where Rangers are right now, though.

With a review of the club's operations in train, a sporting director to find and a new manager to recruit, they have gone to the short-terms option of a Bear Scramble - men who have an intimate knowledge of the club and the league.

Clement's credibility ran out when his team lost to St Mirren on Saturday - a 10th time this season, even outside of Celtic games, when Rangers failed to beat domestic opposition.

The Belgian is a strong character, but he looked hopelessly diminished on Saturday evening. Booed to the rafters by the supporters, the news of his exit came as no surprise.

The Ibrox Four have to pick up the pieces now. Their in-tray must be in danger of collapsing under the weight of things they must do in order to make their months a success, which, in their position, is a relative concept. What can they achieve ahead of a possible takeover and a new managerial regime moving in?

Barry Ferguson was named interim head coach on Monday, tasked with righting the Rangers ship before the end of this season.

The 47-year-old former club captain will be joined by former Rangers and Scotland team-mates Neil McCann, Billy Dodds and Allan McGregor in a coaching team that will also include Issame Charai, who assisted Clement.

Ferguson last managed part-time Alloa Athletic three years ago but will take charge of the side sitting second in the Scottish Premiership for the first time away to Kilmarnock on Wednesday.

In announcing the new management team and confirming the exit of coaches Alex Rae, Colin Stewart and Stephan van der Heyden, Rangers said "a new, permanent manager will be appointed in the coming months".

Clement joined Rangers in October 2023 following Michael Beale's 10-month reign, soon winning the League Cup and leading the team to the top of the Premiership.

However, a poor record against Celtic contributed to missing out on last season's league title and Scottish Cup.

This term, league defeats by Celtic, Kilmarnock, Aberdeen and St Mirren put Clement under scrutiny and Rangers missed out on another League Cup triumph by losing the final to Celtic on penalties.

Rangers' league victory over Celtic at Ibrox in January temporarily eased the pressure but further dropped points at Hibernian and Dundee as well as this month's home losses ultimately sealed Clement's fate.

After Hibs had beaten Celtic earlier on Saturday, St Mirren's win was their first at Ibrox since 1991 and came less than two weeks after Championship side Queen's Park knocked Rangers out of the Scottish Cup.

It's been a dramatic, turbulent few weeks at Ibrox - not for the first time in recent years.

Successive home defeats by Queen's Park and St Mirren spelled the end of Philippe Clement's tenure as manager, while takeover talks rumble away behind the scenes.

Club legend Barry Ferguson was appointed as interim head coach on Monday, and will address the media for the first time at 14:00.

We'll keep you across everything he has to say.
