Image:Ferguson-barry.jpg Barry Ferguson (born Glasgow, Scotland, February 2, 1978) is a Scottish professional football midfielder who currently plays for Scottish Premier League team Rangers.
Ferguson joined his boyhood heroes Rangers at the age of just thirteen. He went on to become a regular for the Glasgow giants and was made captain by manager Dick Advocaat. The arrival at Rangers of Alex McLeish had a very positive impact on Ferguson, and in the 2002-03 season he won the domestic treble as Rangers' captain. He was also voted Scottish Player of the Year.
Ferguson moved to Blackburn Rovers F.C. in 2003 mainly due to severe financial problems at Rangers and he was made captain in July 2004 replacing Garry Flitcroft. Ferguson returned to Rangers on January 31 2005 for a fee of around £4.5m.
Ferguson is also a regular fixture in the Scotland national team where he was also made captain by manager Berti Vogts following the retirement of Paul Lambert.
Barry's older brother Derek also played for Rangers. Barry is married to wife, Margaret, and they have 3 children.
