Barry's ref rage as he urges Gers boss move

BARRY FERGUSON blasted VAR and ref Nick Walsh after what could be his last game as Rangers boss then appealed for clarity on his future.

The Ibrox stand-in gaffer was livid at Easter Road yesterday after his side's 2-2 draw with Hibs.

Walsh and VAR failed to spot that Nico Raskin’s effort had crossed the goal line - which would have put Gers 2-0 in front.

Instead, Hibs raced up the park to level at 1-1 through Kieron Bowie.

Ferguson took a swipe at the official and later the club revealed they will take the matter up with the SFA.

Rangers’ boss search will ramp up this week, with several names in the frame.

Ferguson wants the job on a permanent basis and hopes to get an answer in the next couple of days.

In the meantime, he couldn't hide his anger in Leith. He said: "I don't want to get myself in trouble but it was baffling.

That's all I can say.

"I saw it when it happened, watched it at half-time and at the end.

What's the point? "Nick won't speak. The fourth official was brand new but the referee wasn't interested. It should be getting checked by VAR, that's why we have it.

"It's clearly over the line so it was disappointing.

But I've seen it all season, decisions like that. Not just with Rangers, in other games that I watch.
