BARRY FERGUSON has urged his former club Rangers to do all they can to secure the services of his nephew Lewis.
The former Ibrox captain believes the current Aberdeen star, who is in the running for the young player of the year awards in Scotland, would be the ideal fit in Steven Gerrard's midfield.
The Light Blues have been linked with the Scotland Under-21 star and Championship side Brentford have also been tracking his services.
But his uncle Barry believes a move to his former club would be the ideal progression for the 20-year-old.
He said: “Every day my son speaks to Lewis on WhatsApp and he says there has been no contact from Rangers.
"But I think he would be a very good signing for them.
“He has still got a bit to go in terms of reaching the top level, but he has all the attributes.
“Aberdeen have done the right thing.
"Lewis had a great first season last year, and they signed him up on a four-year deal to get top money for him.
“Whoever buys Lewis now will have to pay top dollar.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
