da bwin： Former Scotland U19s coach Donald Park has advised Lewis Ferguson not to make the move to Glasgow Rangers.
da pixbet： The Gers have been linked with a move for the Aberdeen midfielder, who has impressed in the middle of the park for the Dons recently. The 20-year-old appeared 38 times during the 2019/20 campaign, scoring three goals and providing nine assists along the way, and such was the quality of his displays, he was even named SFWA Young Player of the Year.
Talking to The Glasgow Times, Park said that Ferguson should stay at Pittordie for now:
“I don’t think there is any doubt Lewis could play at Rangers. He has proved that at Aberdeen. I am sure Derek (McInnes) thinks he is as good as any of the Rangers players.
“The hard part for him will be getting the opportunities at such a big club as a young player. Getting regular games has allowed him to go to the next level at Hamilton and at Aberdeen.
“I think he should stay where he is and see what the future brings. Somebody once told me ‘don’t make a decision until you have to’. He doesn’t need to do anything just now.”
Park has insinuated that £1.35m-valued Ferguson – as per Transfermarkt – would not be guaranteed a spot in Steven Gerrard’s starting line-up, and he may have a point. There is already the likes of Steven Davis, Scott Arfield and Joe Aribo available, whilst the 54-time Scottish champions have just completed the signing of Ianis Hagi from Genk.
For now, staying at Aberdeen may well be the correct move. But in the long run, at least in Scotland, a move to the Gers or Celtic is the only one that makes sense and, considering Lewis is the nephew of Gers legend Barry, surely the blue side of Glasgow would have the upper hand in any fight for his services.
