Derek McInnes Wants Rangers Reunion With Lewis Ferguson

Rangers boss Derek McInnes is eyeing up another potential reunion in the summer transfer window, as TeamTalk reports of one target on the club's radar this summer.

It comes after a raft of changes have already taken place at Ibrox, with Danny Rohl's exit to RB Salzburg making way for a switch in the dugout.

In the end, Rangers approached Hearts to land McInnes, who reunited with striker Lawrence Shankland after he made a move to his boyhood club from The Jambos.

The rebuild continues for the Glaswegian side, and the next player on the radar could bring about another reunion with the manager.

The midfield appears to be next on the agenda for Rangers, as Nicolas Raskin appears to be edging closer towards the exit door at Ibrox this summer.

A potential replacement on the cards appears to be Scotland star Lewis Ferguson, as TeamTalk reports of two potential deals between Rangers and Bologna this summer.

The report claims that the Serie A side are keen on landing Raskin, while a reunion between Ferguson and McInnes could be on the cards with a move in the other direction.

As things stand, Bologna aren't keen to sell the 26-year-old, meaning that any discussion is unlikely to be a swap deal and talks will be centred on the moves being separate.

However, it's claimed that Ferguson is keen to speak with the club about a potential switch, which would see him join the team he supported growing up.

Any deal for either midfielder in each direction will be dependent on talks in the coming weeks, which are likely to ramp up after the conclusion of the World Cup campaign for both stars.

It remains to be seen whether Rangers can land their man, in what would be a huge swoop for the side in bolstering the options available to McInnes.

A move for Ferguson would be quite the coup for Rangers, adding a key Scotland star to the midfield ahead of the peak years of his career.

The 26-year-old is someone McInnes knows well, bringing him through at Aberdeen before he eventually made the switch to Bologna in Serie A.

Ferguson made 115 appearances for the head coach in their time together, scoring 20 goals and assisting 22 times to make himself an in-demand star.

His 135 appearances for Bologna since, which have been accompanied by 15 goals and six assists, have resulted in him becoming an important player, even taking the armband on some occasions.

A move for the midfielder would represent value for a player who can bring some important leadership qualities with both the standards his sets, and the quality he possesses.

With a return to the top of the Scottish Premiership on their mind, the Rangers board would show a huge sign of faith in the new manager with such a move.
