Former Rangers captain dismisses rumours of falling out with Amoruso

Former Rangers captain Barry Ferguson has revealed that there was no falling out with Lorenzo Amoruso during their time together in Glasgow.

Amoruso, who joined Rangers from Fiorentina back in 1997, had been captaining the Light Blues for two years when Dutch manager Dick Advocaat took over the club. Advocaat decided to shake things up at Ibrox by stripping Amoruso off the captaincy and giving the armband to Ferguson who was just 22 at the time. The former Scotland international won 15 major trophies during his two spells at the club.

Amoruso was known to be critical of handing the captaincy to Ferguson which later led to rumours that there was animosity between the pair.
