Barry Ferguson, a former captain of Rangers, believes that the recent call-off of their match against Dundee is not a valid excuse for their defeat to Ross County. He argues that the midweek situation should not have affected their performance on Sunday.
The Ibrox hero insists there's no way Philippe Clement can point to the call-off at Dens, for the second time in a matter of weeks, as a cop-out for his side's poor performance in the Highlands.
Despite the midweek situation being difficult for Clement and his players, Ferguson says it's not a valid excuse for losing to County. "But that would have no bearing on the result on Sunday. I'm not taking that. It's not ideal but as a footballer you've got to deal with these circumstances.The pundit continued: "I think there's going to be changes if Rangers win the league or they don't. I think the manager will go to try and strengthen the team and the squad.
