Barry Ferguson details 'huge' Rangers problem that still exists despite Nice annihilation
Rangers legend Barry Ferguson was rightly delighted with the club's 4-1 win over Nice on Thursday evening - though he did stop to point out the huge flaws that the Light Blues still have domestically.
Against the odds, a huge 4-1 win for the Ibrox outfit has propelled them into the top eight of the Europa League's aptly-named league phase table, though there still remain problems on the domestic scene.
And that has seen Ferguson remind players and fans not to get too carried away with their win on the Cote d'Azur - stating that Philippe Clement will have to come up with solutions to break down teams who sit behind the ball, as opposed to Nice who came and had a go at Rangers.

Speaking to Go Radio, Ferguson stated that whilst he was happy with the Nice result, it doesn't quite excuse their homecomings on domestic soil. He said: "Listen, I get that it does take players time to settle, but we're coming to the end of November. Players should have settled in by now, but the performances just haven't been good enough domestically.
"Last night they showed that they're capable of producing high-level performances against a very good Nice team, and there was some real good individual performances - but collectively that is probably the best I've seen, or the Olympiacos game a few weeks back, that I've seen Rangers.
"The problem that I think Rangers have when teams come and sit behind the ball and be really compact, Rangers struggle to break them down. Nice were pretty attack-minded, Rangers hurt them on the counter-attack a number of times, so they need to find a way to solve their issues domestically.
"You go to Sunday and find St Johnstone will sit behind the ball and try to frustrate them to try and get something from a set-piece, a free-kick or a corner, so Rangers need to come up with solution when they come up against teams that make it hard for them to break them down."
