Rangers interim manager Barry Ferguson has been speaking to the media ahead of this weekend's Old Firm match at Ibrox.
Here are the key points from his press conference:
Ferguson says he was impressed with Kevin Thelwell, the club's incoming sporting director, after meeting him this week, but wouldn't be drawn on any discussion around his own future. Adding that the conversation on that topic will remain private.
If he is to leave the role at the end of this season, Ferguson says he'll miss the job but won't "spit the dummy out" if he doesn't get it.
Earlier this week, Ferguson met the prospective new owners of the club from 49ers Enterprises when they visited and welcomed them to Ibrox before showing them around.
Whether he stays as manager or returns to an ambassadorial role following the conclusion of this season, he says he's excited about the future for Rangers. Adding that it has been an "amazing couple of months" with ups and downs, but has given him a taste for the job.
On Sunday's game against Celtic, he says it is not a "dead rubber", now that Celtic have clinched the title, emphasising that it means a lot to him and should mean a lot to everyone at the club.
Ferguson says they need to remind Celtic that they'll be around next year.
The subject of a guard of honour for Celtic hasn't come up in conversation, adding that it's never happened in the past and wouldn't have bothered him, had he not got one as a player and doesn't think it'll bother Celtic either.
On Celtic winning the league title, he says they are champions for a reason, and they've been the most consistent team.
