One of the most talented midfield players of his generation, Barry Ferguson had more than one fruitful spell at Rangers. Appearances down in England with Blackburn Rovers and Birmingham City may not have worked out well for him, but he was always welcome at Ibrox. Perhaps because he was a boyhood supporter, Ferguson gave his most when playing for Rangers. Introduced into the side as a young boy by Walter Smith in the late-1990's, Barry came into his own under Dick Advocaat. Relatively quickly, he went on to captain the side, and his distinctly Glaswegian spirit was stamped all over the club he loved. During both his tenures at Glasgow Rangers, Barry Ferguson literally played through the pain barrier, such was his dedication. Numerous hip injuries threatened to keep him out over the course of his career. Instead of deciding to take time on the sidelines, Ferguson underwent painful injections which would allow him to play in crucial matches, often against Celtic or on the European stage. This didn't go unnoticed by the Rangers fans, who enjoyed his battling nature and the idea that he'd give everything to play for them.
