Rangers would be 'crazy' not to give Billy Gilmour a shot as Ibrox legend hails 'truly special' star

Barry Ferguson believes Rangers should be throwing the 'kitchen sink' at Billy Gilmour and they would be 'crazy' not to ask Brighton the question.

The 21-year-old - who he has labelled as 'truly special' - made the move from Chelsea to Brighton over the summer after Graham Potter made his play for the midfielder only to move to Stamford Bridge himself weeks later. Roberto Di Zerbi came in the door and opportunities have been very limited with Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo the preferred duo.

Ferguson believes it is time for an honest conversation with the Brighton boss and if he is not going to get regular game-time next season then he needs to plan ahead of a huge decision in the summer as he needs to get consistent games under his belt. He was part of the Scotland squad for the stunning double-header win over Cyprus and Scotland but watched on from the sidelines. A fit and firing Gilmour would make the national team even better states the ex-Rangers skipper and could be the 'real difference' for Scotland to make a mark on Euro 2024 in Germany if they reach the finals.
