Barry Ferguson in Contention as Rangers Progress in Europa League

Rangers secured their place in the quarter-finals of the Europa League on Thursday night. Interim Success: The Light Blues held their nerve from the penalty spot to earn a shootout victory over Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce. It was a massive night for interim boss Barry Ferguson's whose side will meet Atletico Bilbao in the last-eight. The success will do Ferguson's chances of becoming permanent Rangers manager no harm, despite the club's struggles in the Scottish Premiership. Betting Odds: The former captain - currently 8/1 with Bet365 to get the reins permanently - has a couple of names above him in the betting, including former Rangers boss Steven Gerrard (7/2) and ex-Chelsea supremo Mourinho (6/1). Russell Martin is the clear favourite with Bet365 at 5/4. Former Northern Ireland captain Steven Davis is ranked a 20/1 shot, alongside a host of names including Derek McInness. Another ex-NI midfielder Stephen Robinson, the current manager of St Mirren, is available at 33/1. *Odds from Bet365. Sign up to our free sports newsletter to get the latest headlines to your inbox.*
