Concerned Barry Ferguson insists Rangers must be more ruthless over player contracts and learn from Celtic's stance on selling top stars.
Gio van Bronckhorst and sporting director Ross Wilson face a busy few months with a whopping 10 players approaching the end of their Rangers contracts. The status of Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent has started to concern Ibrox fans, with both players free to sign pre-contract deals with other clubs from January, with Scott Arfield, Allan McGregor, Steven Davies and Ryan Jack also among the first-team stars who could walk away next summer.
Ferguson insists Rangers should not have allowed themselves to get in a situation where valuable players can leave for nothing, as he pointed to the attitude of Parkhead transfer chiefs. The likes of Ryan Christie, Kristoffer Ajer and Odsonne Edouard were all sold as they approached the final 12 months of their deals to bring valuable funds into Celtic Park.
