Rangers let a “diamond” leave for £0, now he’s worth even more than Cerny
Barry Ferguson, the interim manager of Glasgow Rangers, led his team to a 3-1 victory over Fenerbahce in the Europa League last week, causing raucous scenes in the away end at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium.
Rangers put up a classic European show, dominating when many predicted the Ibrox team would falter because of the unfriendly atmosphere in Istanbul.
Even though this was a fantastic outcome, Ferguson had just lost his second Premiership match as Light Blues manager, losing to Motherwell at Ibrox a few days earlier.
With nine games remaining, Celtic leads the Gers by an incredible 16 points, officially ending the title battle. Ferguson must therefore begin providing opportunities to some of the young players that are emerging at the team.
By choosing to play players like Kieran Dowell rather than risk losing someone who could succeed at Ibrox, Philippe Clement neglected to give some players the time they needed on the field.
One of the club’s finest promising players, Zak Lovelace scored 17 goals in 34 outings for the B team before returning to Millwall in the winter transfer window.
Bailey Rice is definitely a standout in the present. He has only made five appearances this season, but he did make an impression when he entered the game in the second half against Manchester United in the Europa League.
Ferguson should be giving the midfielder lots of chances, especially now that the odds of winning a trophy have been eliminated, but he still has a bright future ahead of him.
Another academy standout who received several opportunities under the Belgian was Findlay Curtis. Despite being active against Fraserburgh and Manchester United, Curtis has not yet made an appearance under Ferguson.
