Reported Rangers target Lewis Ferguson should not move to the Ibrox club this summer, Donald Park has suggested to The Glasgow Evening Times.
Rangers manager Steven Gerrard wants to bring Ferguson to Ibrox in the summer transfer window, according to The Scottish Sun.
The 20-year-old midfielder was at Rangers as a youth player before he moved to Hamilton Academical and eventually to Aberdeen in 2018.
Park, who played for Heart of Midlothian among other clubs, worked with Ferguson during his time as Scotland Under-19 coach.
The 66-year-old has raved about Scottish compatriot, and believes that the youngster should not move to Rangers this summer and should stay at Aberdeen.
Park told The Glasgow Evening Times about Ferguson: “I don’t think there is any doubt Lewis could play at Rangers. He has proved that at Aberdeen. I am sure Derek (McInnes) thinks he is as good as any of the Rangers players.
“The hard part for him will be getting the opportunities at such a big club as a young player. Getting regular games has allowed him to go to the next level at Hamilton and at Aberdeen.
“I think he should stay where he is and see what the future brings. Somebody once told me ‘don’t make a decision until you have to’. He doesn’t need to do anything just now.”
Moving to Rangers?
Rangers are a bigger club than Aberdeen and will be aiming to win the Scottish Premiership title next season.
Ferguson could make himself a huge favourite among the Ibrox faithful next season if he helps the Gers stop Celtic from making it 10 league titles in a row.
However, it would be a risk for the youngster to move to Rangers in terms of regular playing time.
