Brian Leishman, Labour MP for Alloa and Grangemouth, has also called for nationalisation of the Scottish refinery.

Having been in the managerial wilderness after unimpressive stints at Clyde, Kelty Hearts and Alloa Athletic, he has guided Rangers past Fenerbahce into a Europa League quarter-final and a first win at Celtic Park since October 2020.

It is almost exactly three years since Ferguson resigned from his last managerial position with League 1 Alloa Athletic.

Ferguson has been out of coaching for three years since leaving part-timers Alloa Athletic, and admitted he was "surprised I got the call".

Ferguson, 47, previously managed Clyde, Kelty Hearts and Alloa Athletic, while McCann, 50, has had spells in charge of Dundee and Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
