Rangers interim head coach Ferguson agreed, albeit his words carried a little less flourish than those of his feted counterpart.<\/p>\n
Little wonder. This was a man in just his third game as Rangers manager and with only some underwhelming stints in the Scottish third and fourth tiers to call upon. <\/p>\n
He might have won his first match after replacing Philippe Clement – his side coming from two down at Kilmarnock just eight days ago – but that was followed by an abject home defeat on Saturday at the hands of struggling Motherwell. <\/p>\n
However, Ferguson and his coaching team watched their selection decisions pay off, with the move to a back three not only making them more robust but also giving them options on the break. <\/p>\n
“I just thought I had to change the shape and it was a gamble I was prepared to take because I thought we could get a result,” the former club captain said.<\/p>\n
“It’s easy, when you score a couple of goals and they get disallowed, to start feeling sorry for yourself. But they kept going and stuck to the game plan.<\/p>\n
“We’ve got to remember, it’s only half-time in the tie because Fenerbahce have got one of the best managers that’s ever been.<\/p>\n
“There’s no way we think we’re into the last eight. Playing at Ibrox has been a bit of a problem, but we’ll enjoy tonight and then try to fix that problem.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
