Barry Ferguson has delivered a 'shocked but not surprised' response over Rangers not moving for nephew Lewis while at Aberdeen.
The former Ibrox skipper reckons a £2million fee for the midfielder wasn't even a gamble with the Scotland international starting to make waves with Bologna in Serie A. His recent form has even captured the eye of Juventus with reports over interest in a January deal.
Ferguson believes his old club missed a trick with the former Reds star and one or two other youngsters. Both Aaron Hickey and Josh Doig left Hearts and Hibs for an Italian adventure with Hickey earning a big money English Premier League switch to Brentford. Scottish based talent is important for the club's identity according to the Rangers hero - who believes not signing the midfiedler shows things are far from right on the recruitment side.
