"You've got to respect your opponent, and respect the manager. He [Martin O'Neill] knows football inside out and I still believe they have really good players. But they are coming to our home patch and they want to come and put a dent in Rangers' title hopes. Rangers have to think that way as well. I'm confident in Rangers at home at this moment in time, with the fans behind them."
"I'm not going to be over confident but I'm going to back my team. I believe it's going to go to the wire. And it's not just about Rangers, Hearts, and Celtic. I thoroughly believe Motherwell are in it, and will have a big say."
Rangers face Celtic in a pivotal Old Firm derby at Ibrox with a two-point advantage, though they trail leaders Hearts by four points with 10 games remaining. Barry Ferguson expresses confidence in Rangers' ability to secure victory at home, citing their recent form of seven consecutive league wins at Ibrox and their 3-1 victory over Celtic in January. Ferguson believes the title race will be closely contested, extending beyond the traditional top three to include Motherwell as genuine contenders. Rangers manager Danny Rohl has impressed Ferguson since his October appointment, successfully narrowing a 13-point deficit to Hearts. The upcoming derby represents a crucial moment in the season's final stretch.
