Barry Ferguson’s infamous feud with former Rangers boss Paul Le Guen started over the legendary captain eating BEANS for his pre-match meal, according to ex Light Blues striker Ross McCormack.French flop boss Le Guen arrived in Glasgow with a big reputation in the summer of 2006 after successful spells with Rennes and Lyon but lasted just seven months in Govan after an ill-fated 31-game spell in charge.

He didn’t see eye to eye with Ferguson after accusing the fans favourite of undermining him him in the dressing room and he was stripped of the captaincy.

Ferguson, though, has always maintained: “I never once undermined him.”McCormack, who came through the ranks at Ibrox, was told by Le Guen that he didn’t have a future at the club but just a week before heading for the exit and signing for Motherwell he witnessed an early incident between Ferguson and Le Guen which he believes was the start of the deterioration in the manager-captain relationship.Le Guen’s first game in charge of Rangers was a 2-0 victory over Linfield in Belfast in a pre-season friendly.

Ferguson was back at the Light Blues in his second spell having left for Blackburn Rovers and McCormack, speaking on the Open Goal podcast, said: “Fergie had obviously come back to the club and before they went to, I think it was Linfield for a pre-season game, they were in the canteen having their breakfast/pre-match.“Fergie had toast and beans and he (Le Guen) walked up to Fergie and took his plate off the table while he was eating it, walked over to the bin, scraped the beans off and gave him the toast back and said ‘we don’t eat beans here’.
