BARRY FERGUSON has offered Alloa fans the chance to come into his office for an open and honest discussion surrounding any issues they have with his side.
The Rangers legend was involved in a heated shouting match with an Alloa fan after a 1-1 draw in Dumbarton.
The 43-year-old, who took over the Wasps in the summer, was filmed confronting a fan after a 'negative reaction' at full-time.
Shared by @Craigieh23 on Twitter, the short clip showed Ferguson and a fan shouting across the barrier as a handful on supporters watched on intently.
Ferguson provided an explanation for the confrontation after the match, as he revealed he was "sick of negative comments" coming from the supporters.
Now, speaking on the Go Radio Football Show, the former Scotland captain has offered Alloa fans the chance to come and speak to him in a calm and constructive manner.

He said: "It was all just a bit negative. I went over to ask him why. I wear my heart on my sleeve - i'll stick up for myself and my players.
"I had a few things to say, they had a few things to say back. I went in to speak to the players about it. They've been speaking it about things coming from the stands for more than the last few weeks.
"I'm all for criticism as long as it's constructive - I just feel some of it hasn't been.
"I had a good chat with some of the fans outside of the stadium after the game.
"I said to them 'My door is always open if you want to come in and see me.' Hopefully they can come in tomorrow night and we can talk things through.
"I think that's the way it's got to be done. As men, eye-to-eye.
"I respect them because they pay money and travel. We need to get a good connection between the fans and the players though.
"It's just a small minority. Maybe they were just frustrated. We were good first half, we went 1-0 up but we weren't so good in the second. I totally understand that.
"I think there's just too much negativity going about at times."
