    He would eventually be sold to Brentford, before a persistent knee injury eventually led to his retirement in 2021.

    However, now back at Rangers as an academy coach, he said: "There's a number of players in the academy just now you could look at and be hopeful they can go on and have careers at Rangers, and in professional football in general.

    "It's up to us as coaches and staff to give them the best platform we can, to keep them moving in the right direction.

    "Whether that's loans or whatever it may be, we will get them that experience they need to develop."

    Macleod, who will feature for Rangers at next weekend's Tennent's Sixes tournament, added: "Ian Durrant, who is part of the Tennent's Sixes, was a massive help for me.

    "Not just because I looked up to him growing up as a Rangers fan, we played in the same position.

    "So he was always helpful in terms of information, whether it be in football or outside of football. Just looking after yourself."

    Former Rangers captain and interim manager has spoken about the "true leader" he believes Dan Neil can be for the Ibrox club.

    Ferguson spoke to the former Sunderland captain and his father as part of his role as Rangers ambassador when the Glasgow club were looked to bring in the 24-year-old.

    Neil has been a recent standout for Rangers, particularly in the back-to-back wins over Celtic.

    "I had a good chat with him and his old man when Rangers were interested in him," said Ferguson, who will manage Rangers in the upcoming Tennent's Sixes.

    "I came away so impressed by him. He was so eager to come to Rangers. I know there were a number of clubs after him, and Rangers did brilliantly to get him.

    "It's always difficult when you don't have a good start, but it shows you how strong a character he is. He's come through that period and over the last couple of weeks, I think he became a real leader for the Rangers team."
