Scotland and Bologna midfielder Lewis Ferguson has revealed that he expects to play for Rangers at some point in the future. The 27-year-old's admission comes amid several potential squad movements at Ibrox, where 20-year-old winger Findlay Curtis is drawing loan interest from English clubs and Scottish Premiership rivals after struggling for a starting spot ahead of the January transfer window. Elsewhere in the youth ranks, Arsenal are plotting a move to secure 15-year-old Rangers right-back Kai Urban.
Senior squad matters at Rangers also feature unresolved questions for manager Derek McInnes. The boss is currently in the dark regarding the chances of converting 21-year-old Stuttgart winger Badredine Bouanani's loan stay into a permanent transfer. Meanwhile, an upward path for Penrice has left McInnes eager to secure a deal for Rangers as recruitment plans take shape.
Across Glasgow, Celtic are prepared to sanction a departure for 27-year-old Scotland right-back Anthony Ralston should interest arrive during the mid-season window. Further north, Aberdeen have opened discussions with Andrew Fasanya over signing a first professional contract when the striker turns 16 in December. Fasanya, who has already made history as Aberdeen's youngest-ever first-team player, continues to be courted by clubs in England.
In other Scottish Premiership developments, Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin has publicly backed 24-year-old midfielder Dylan Tait to earn a Scotland call-up. Looking ahead to upcoming fixtures, Hibernian manager Marink Reedijk has instructed his squad to maintain the same "intensity" that carried them to victory in Sunday's Scottish League Cup semi-final against Hearts.
