Ferguson harbours Rangers ambition - gossip

What the report says

BBC Sport Football reports that Bologna and Scotland midfielder Lewis Ferguson has said he expects to play for Rangers at some point in the future. The comment adds a fresh strand to Scottish football gossip around the 27-year-old, who is currently based in Italy and has long been linked with a return to Scottish football one day.

The same gossip round-up also says Rangers winger Findlay Curtis is drawing loan interest from clubs in Scotland and England ahead of the January transfer window, while manager Derek McInnes is said to be uncertain whether Stuttgart winger Badredine Bouanani’s loan can be made permanent. BBC Sport Football presents these as transfer rumours rather than confirmed moves.

Elsewhere in the bulletin, Arsenal are reportedly monitoring 15-year-old Rangers right-back Kai Urban, and Celtic are described as being open to selling Scotland right-back Anthony Ralston if suitable interest arrives in January. The wider context is the usual mid-season transfer build-up, when clubs begin assessing squad needs and possible exits or loans.

The item is part of BBC Sport Football’s regular Scottish gossip coverage, which gathers reported transfer links and brief updates from several sources. It does not indicate that any of the moves are close to completion.
