Rangers are reportedly considering a marquee signing of midfielder Lewis Ferguson from Bologna, following his standout performances at the 2026 World Cup. The news comes as Ross McCrorie expressed excitement about the possibility of reuniting with Ferguson, who has deep ties to the club and a promising future.
Ferguson's Impressive World Cup Performance
The 26-year-old Ferguson, who captained Bologna, showcased his skills during the World Cup, playing every minute for Scotland. He was recognized as one of the top performers, leading in accurate passes and defensive contributions. His ability to influence games has only increased his value, with Bologna reportedly placing a £17 million price tag on him.
Ferguson has a strong legacy in Scottish football, having previously scored an average of nine goals per season at Aberdeen before his move to Italy. His recent accolades include being named Serie A midfielder of the year for the 2023-24 season.
Potential Impact on Rangers' Squad
Bringing Ferguson back to Ibrox could significantly enhance the squad's leadership and experience. With former captain James Tavernier and goalkeeper Jack Butland both departed, the team is in need of seasoned players. Ferguson’s history as a captain at Bologna, along with his family ties to Rangers—his uncle Barry was a legendary figure at the club—adds to his appeal.
