Barry Ferguson heard that following Sunday’s (20 October) 1-0 loss to Kilmarnock, the Rangers’ dressing room was “very quiet.”
The team’s mentality is now being questioned after Philippe Clement’s team was doomed to an upset loss at Rugby Park after failing to take advantage of the 2-2 draw between Celtic and Aberdeen.
The Gers are currently six points behind fourth-place Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership table, despite having the opportunity to get closer to the top two teams.
Ferguson stated in the Daily Record on Wednesday, October 23, “I heard someone say that after the final whistle, the away dressing room was a very quiet place.” Wait a second, a peaceful location?
“If I were in there, I would be turning everything upside down after a loss that couldn’t have happened at a worse time.”

After the last-minute loss at Rugby Park, the players might have been stunned into silence, but Clement would have preferred a far more passionate response from them.
The Gers lost out on a great chance to get back into the title race and catch up to their Old Firm opponents, but they were unable to withstand the pressure.
The Killie are notorious for their rare upsets, particularly when they play the Light Blues, but losing to a mid-table team is never an acceptable reason.
There appears to be a mentality issue with Clement’s team, and the players need to examine themselves while the manager is under a lot of pressure because of the results.
With a crucial league match against the Dons at the end of the month that may make or break the Gers’ season, all eyes are now on their Europa League matchup against Romanian team FCSB.
