BARRY Ferguson has accused Rangers of lacking class as the club’s search for a new manager drags on.
Pedro Caixinha was dismissed as Ibrox boss almost a month ago and his successor looks no closer to being named as a busy December approaches.
Graeme Murty has led the side to two wins and a defeat since taking over on an interim basis for the second time this year, but former Light Blues skipper Ferguson has not been impressed by the way the club has acted as fans wait for news.

Speaking to PLZ Soccer, he said: “They’re lacking class — the full club. That’s not the Rangers I know. You hear things from a ‘spokesman’ or a ‘spokesperson’.
“Somebody come out and face the music — let the fans know what’s going on, whether it be what the finances are all about.
“But the main thing just now is that the fans are wanting to know who they’ve got in their minds to be the next Rangers manager. Because I’ll tell you what, it needs to be the right guy.
“There are one or two that are right on our doorstep — a Derek McInnes or a Tommy Wright. Or even Alex McLeish, an old manager.
“But go out and get it sorted. Let Graeme Murty go back to his Under-20s, because we’ve a transfer window coming up and we need to get it sorted quickly.”
