Kris Commons Makes Surprising Rangers Confession, Backs Barry Ferguson to Spark Instant Response

In a shocking admission, former Celtic playmaker Kris Commons has revealed that he believes Hoops fans want a strong Rangers to challenge them. Commons, who had a storied career with Celtic, has tipped Barry Ferguson to get an instant reaction from the struggling Rangers squad.

Ferguson, a Rangers legend, has taken the reins as interim boss after Philippe Clement’s departure. He faces a daunting task, with Rangers’ prospects of lifting a trophy this season all but over, barring a deep run in the Europa League.

Commons, speaking to PLZ, acknowledged that Rangers’ dismal showing against St Mirren was unacceptable. “I don’t see so much aggression on the pitch in the way that they play,” he said. “You could see a Roy Keane saying that it is unacceptable to drop below certain standards. Scott Brown was exactly the same – the likes of Barry Ferguson, Lee McCulloch, and Steven Naismith, you would know what you are going to get out of these players.”

Commons conceded that Celtic supporters want a strong Rangers to challenge them. “When I was a player, I wanted to beat the best Rangers team,” he said. “I don’t want to see a weakened animal. I want to beat the best of the best and show that we are the best in Scotland.”

The former Celtic star believes that Ferguson’s appointment will spark an instant response from the Rangers players. “With Barry and the rest of the Rangers lot going in there – as soon as you hear the news as a player in that dressing room, you might get your phone out, get your laptop out, and go ‘right, he is a Rangers legend, bringing in this team with him – we need to be on it’,” Commons said. “There is no slack days off, there is no turning up at 10 and leaving at 1 – I think he will get that response quickly, and whether he can put that into results, it will be interesting to see.”

Ferguson’s first game in charge is on Wednesday against Kilmarnock, and Commons’ comments will undoubtedly add to the hype surrounding the match. As Rangers look to revive their season, Commons’ admission that Celtic fans want a strong Rangers will only add fuel to the fire of the Old Firm rivalry.
