Barry Ferguson has revealed Lawrence Shankland was his No.1 transfer target for Rangers a year before the striker’s eventual move to Ibrox, saying the deal was “an absolute no brainer”.
The former captain and coach believes the club missed a major opportunity to land the Scotland striker earlier and admits he was left puzzled when a move failed to materialise, despite Shankland’s proven goal record and suitability for the demands at Ibrox.
