Calvin Bassey gets Rangers transfer plea from Barry Ferguson as he draws cash comparison with Celtic hero

Barry Ferguson wants Rangers to do "everything in their power" to keep Calvin Bassey. And he's told the in-demand defender another season at Ibrox would be best for his career.

Ajax and Brighton have registered an interest in the £25million-rated star after he ended last season with a string of impressive displays. He proved key in Rangers reaching the Europa League Final and winning the Scottish Cup under Giovanni van Bronckhorst. Ajax are in the market to replace Manchester United-bound Lisandro Martinez while Brighton look set to lose Marc Cucurella to Manchester City - and it's understood Bassey has moved to the top of both clubs' priority lists.

Ferguson insists if Rangers do cash in on the 22-year-old they must hold out for the highest price they can, citing Kieran Tierney 's £25million transfer from Celtic to Arsenal in 2019. The Ibrox legend told Go Radio: "I keep checking he's still a Rangers player because I think it's important that Rangers try everything in their power to keep him, but every player has their price.
