After bringing in Barron from Aberdeen after his contract expired, the Light Blues have been watching the second young midfield player with an eye towards signing him [Football Scotland, 10 July].
Ferguson, a former fan favourite at Ibrox, thinks it’s a no-brainer this summer after neglecting the greatest Scottish players far too frequently in the past.
Having seen the 17-year-old phenom play at Fir Park numerous times, he is a tremendous fan of his game, and for Rangers, he believes the deal is a “no-brainer.”
“I’ve watched a lot of the boy over the course of the last season at a number of Motherwell games,” he revealed in an exclusive interview with Ibrox News.
Yes, at the age of seventeen, he plays with the maturity of a twenty-seven-year-old. He is undoubtedly a fantastic football player, but even at his young age, he exudes physicality.
It makes sense to me. Rangers, in my opinion, have been missing a trick by not scouting enough of the young Scottish talent over the previous few years. He is a very good player. His father, who was also a famous player, was his old man.
“It’s good to see we’ve got young Barron through the door, I’d love to see Miller [too].”
It is hardly shocking that Nils Koppen and Philippe Clement are now considering Miller, who has begun his penultimate year of contract, given that they successfully closed the deal [BBC Sport, 8 May].
Motherwell might be more amenable to negotiations than the Dons are, and as senior targets are currently hard to come by [Andy Devlin, July 12], a gifted player who is older than his years might be a better option.
Another Rangers story is that a championship team located south of the border wants to a striker who left the Light Blues can be signed.
