Three months ago he was looking for a job as his number three- this morning Barry Ferguson is warning Pedro Caixinha that he has a month to save his job.
The Real Rangers Men have never been convinced by the fifth best coach in Qatar and are now sitting in wait for Caixinha being informed that he has resigned.
Ferguson, Alex McLeish and Alex Rae are waiting for the call to form a true blue dream team with wee Billy Davies sulking quietly on the sidelines ready to restore some traditional values.
The Europa League exit to Progres Niederkorn has turned every aspect of the club upside down with at least a further £5m now needed in soft loans, a huge question mark over Caixinha’s recruitment process and a blank fixture list between now and August 6.
Caixinha looks like seeing it out until the opening match at Fir Park but the first sign of falling behind Aberdeen in the race for second will see vultures like Ferguson and Kris Boyd lead the calls to sack Brother Pedro.
Writing in the Daily Record Ferguson states: “You don’t get time so Rangers now have the biggest four weeks ever as they lead up to the league opener at Motherwell.
“There can be no more excuses. Motherwell already look to be building a decent squad, Fir Park’s never an easy venue and it’s followed by one heck of a game against Hibs with Neil Lennon coming to Ibrox so they need to be up and running.
“They have four weeks to get working on things but the question now is, who are they going to play?
“They need games which will test them but are they going to get that?
“All the other clubs across Britain and beyond have already sorted their pre-season schedule and that’s a massive problem.”
In three friendlies before the home match against Progres Sevco beat Coleraine and drew with St Johnstone and The New Saints of Wales.
