Le Guen admits Ferguson blunder
Former Rangers manager Paul Le Guen admits he made a mistake in stripping Barry Ferguson of the captaincy at Ibrox.[LNB] The pair clashed repeatedly during the Frenchman's disastrous reign as boss at Ibrox and tensions came to a head on New Year's Day, 2007.[LNB]Before the SPL clash with Motherwell at Fir Park the following day, Ferguson was sent home after Le Guen had relieved him of his duties as skipper.[LNB]Days later, Le Guen left the Govan club and almost four years after he first arrived in Glasgow, the former Lyon coach has told of his regret.[LNB]In a BBC Radio Scotland interview to be broadcast later today, when asked if stripping Ferguson of the armband was the right thing to do, Le Guen said: "No, no, it was not right.[LNB]"It was an impasse. When I took this decision I knew it would be difficult for me.[LNB]"He was my best player, but it was difficult for me to get the same relationship because of some factors.[LNB]"We are so different, but he was my best player.[LNB]"I was fed up with some behaviour, he knew he was the natural captain of Rangers, I knew that.[LNB]"But at that moment I was fed up perhaps."
