Barry Ferguson admits Rangers Legends game will be tinged with sadness without the 'main man'

The Ibrox dressing rooms will be packed with legends but for Barry Ferguson, the main man will be missing.

The former Rangers captain is heading back to his old stomping ground for tomorrow’s charity bounce game between retired Ibrox icons and a world select. It’s a chance for the Gers faithful to celebrate heroes of old, with Jorg Albertz, Ronald de Boer and Nikica Jelavic among the star names back in town.

On the other side, French World Cup ace Manu Petit, Champions League winner Steven McManaman and Dutch ace Robin van Persie will be among the global greats hoping to wind back the years. But for Fergie, behind the party atmosphere there will be an air of sadness. Sunday's match will the first time since he signed for the club as a schoolboy that Ferguson has walked into the hallowed inner sanctum and not found Jimmy Bell’s trademark scowl waiting for him.
