Rangers fans on Twitter have given a mixed reaction to the news that Barry Ferguson is being lined up to be a part of the new Ibrox coaching set-up.

The Scottish Sun has reported that the Gers have started to go into in talks about making a move for Ferguson, 39, to be the new No 3 to Derek McInnes, who is expected to be approached by the Glasgow giants this week.

It is understood that Pedro Caixinha had previously snubbed Ferguson to become a part of his backroom staff after interviewing him, but now it seems that the former Rangers player is in line to make a "sensational" return to Ibrox.

And judging by the fans' reaction on Twitter, it seems that the majority would prefer if if the ex-Clyde manager sticks away from the club.

Here is a selection of their tweets:

Barry Ferguson is my all time favourite Ranger would love him at the club in any position don't get the negativity

Barry Ferguson ? No thanks. Disaster written all over it.

Not convinced that Barry Ferguson would be a good option as an assistant. Right now, I’d have Graeme Murty in front of the queue to be part of the new @RangersFC coaching set-up.

Barry Ferguson possibly coming back with McInnes? 🤔 Hmmm. Interesting.

Announce Barry Ferguson has nothing to do with the new management set up. PLEASE

I don't want Barry Ferguson in the #Rangers coaching set up. Don't want plating legends damaging their reputation by being involved with management

Barry Ferguson loves our club, the best captain we've had in the last 15 years, any fans slating him really need to think about what's he's done and how he feels about our club. Would love to see him back.

Derek McInness with Barry Ferguson? See you soon 55.
— Jason W (@JWilsonRFC) December 3, 2017

Sincerely hope Barry Ferguson has no place in the coaching staff of the next managerial team.

Ferguson has been out of a job since February when he quit his role as Clyde manager.

The rookie coach spent three years in charge of the Cumbernauld club and has also had a caretaker stint at English side Blackpool.

The Scottish Sun has also reported that Rangers will make a move for McInnes soon and that a potential £1million compensation fee is on the cards.

In other Rangers news, Alan Brazil has claimed that this Premier League chief has firm interest in a role at Ibrox after a £300million bid is made.
