WE HAVE LOST FEAR FACTOR

BARRY FERGUSON last night admitted that the 'aura' and 'fear factor' have been lost at Rangers.

The Light Blues' interim boss delivered a brutal assessment of his side's display in a 2-2 draw with St Mirren which makes it five games without a win.

Ferguson's pre-match target of taking 15 points from their remaining five games is already out of the window and he delivered a warning to his squad over their futures.

He said: "The issue I've got is people don't fear playing Rangers now.

"They enjoy coming to Ibrox and when you go away from home, teams look to see if they can bully you, run hard at you and get in about you.

"That's something that needs to change.

"You need to build a strong team domestically and I'm sure whoever takes the job will totally understand that.

"I never got the three points which I had demanded. You can't come to a place like St Mirren, lead the game twice and give a couple of sloppy goals away.
