the match at motherwell was won 1–0 by rangers, and goalscorer kris boyd reportedly showed solidarity with the deposed skipper by holding up six fingers, in reference to ferguson's shirt number. following the resignation of le guen as manager on 4 january, ferguson was re-instated to the rangers side by caretaker manager ian durrant and was also re-appointed as captain. later that year, sports journalist graham spiers published "paul le guen: enigma", documenting his tenure at the club. according to spiers, le guen left because he was being "undermined" by other rangers personnel, including ferguson and then club doctor, ian mcguinness.
