Ferguson backing for Ricksen

Joe · 07-13-2006, 12:12 PM

Rangers captain Barry Ferguson has promised Fernando Ricksen his full support after his team-mate checked into a rehabilitation clinic

Ricksen was sent home from their pre-season tour of South Africa following an altercation with an air stewardess on the flight to Johannesburg.

The Dutchman, who turns 30 this month, later confessed to drinking on the plane and is now seeking help from the Sporting Chance Clinic in London.

Manager Paul Le Guen will make a decision on the defender's future when they return to Scotland and Ferguson says he has the backing of the players.

"It is a private matter and we should let Fernando and the medical people deal with his situation," he said. "We will give him all the support he needs.

"I hope we see him back sooner rather than later. He should be granted privacy."

Despite the Ricksen incident, Le Guen has not banned the rest of the players from drinking alcohol.
