Barry Ferguson Rangers transfer pitch as he makes Shankland and Nisbet 'wouldn't surprise me' claim

Barry Ferguson believes Rangers would be missing a trick if Kevin Nisbet and Lawrence Shankland are not on his radar.

The Light Blues have history of buying Scottish strikers through the years with the likes of Billy Dodds, Kenny Miller, Kris Boyd and Steven Naismith all proving to be successful signings from on their own doorstep. Hearts stand-in skipper Shankland has been a revelation in the capital with 19 goals this season to date while Nisbet has returned from a long-term injury to net five goals in his last two outings as he looks to be getting back to his best.

Michael Beale has started the process of bringing transfer recruits to Ibrox as he looks set to tie up a deal for Norwich City midfielder Todd Cantwell. Others are likely to follow him in the door as the new boss looks to put his stamp on his new side. One area of the park that the Rangers hero believes needs addressing is the striking department with Alfredo Morelos out of contract out in the summer and Kemar Roofe and Antonio Colak struggling with injuries of late. It's a key position and one that Ferguson wouldn't be surprised if he is eyeing up with talent from his Premiership rivals.
