Rangers remain a dream destination for Scotland international Lewis Ferguson, who has publicly expressed his desire to join the Ibrox club despite his agent previously ruling out a move. The 26-year-old midfielder, who captained Bologna in European competitions last season, revealed in an interview that Rangers are his favourite team and he hopes to play for them one day. League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 2nd in Premiership, 69 pts, 19W-12D-2L from 33 games, recent form WLLLL.
What did Ferguson say about Rangers?
Ferguson, who has made 135 appearances for Bologna since joining from Aberdeen, told Corriere dello Sport: “It’s my favourite team, and I’ve always said I want to play for Rangers. One day, though I don’t know when yet, it will definitely happen if I get the chance.” The Scotland international also praised his current club, calling Bologna his 'second home' after growing up in Glasgow.
Why might Rangers have to wait?
Ferguson’s contract with Bologna expires in 2028, and the Italian club has the option to extend it by another year. His agent previously stated that the player would prefer a move to England or to stay in Italy, making an immediate transfer to Rangers unlikely. Bologna’s track record of developing players for big moves-such as Dan Ndoye, Joshua Zirkzee, and Riccardo Calafiori-suggests Ferguson may follow a similar path.
What’s next for Ferguson and Rangers?
While Ferguson’s dream of playing for Rangers remains alive, the club will need to monitor his situation closely. With Rangers finishing second in the Premiership last season, just one point behind leaders Heart of Midlothian, they may look to strengthen their squad further. Ferguson’s experience in Serie A and European competitions could make him a valuable addition, but the timing of any potential move remains uncertain.
