Former Inverness Caley Thistle managers Neil McCann and Billy Dodds named interim assistant managers at Rangers under new head coach Barry Ferguson





Two former Inverness Caledonian Thistle managers have been appointed assistants at Rangers.

After the departure of Philippe Clement last night, former Ibrox skipper Barry Ferguson has been named interim manager until the end of the season.

He will be assisted by Clement’s former number two, Issame Charai, as well as Allan McGregor and ex-Inverness interim manager Neil McCann, as well as former ICT boss Billy Dodds.

McCann took temporary charge of the Caley Jags when John Robertson went on compassionate leave in February 2021.

At that stage, he was assisted by Dodds, who then took permanent charge of the first team that summer when McCann turned down the chance to stay on.

Dodds would oversee a successful spell at the Caledonian Stadium, leading Inverness to a Scottish Cup final and a play-off final – where his side were level with St Johnstone with 45 minutes left to play – in his two full campaigns in charge.

He has been out of work since being sacked by Inverness in September 2023, having started the 2023/24 campaign poorly with ICT sitting bottom of the Championship.
