Ian McCall has floated a Rangers transfer scenario that would see Nico Raskin used in a potential swap-style route for Bologna midfielder Lewis Ferguson. The former Fir Park manager was discussing the Ibrox midfield picture as Derek McInnes begins shaping his first full Rangers rebuild, with Raskin’s future already a live supporter debate and Ferguson’s Bologna position again drawing Scottish interest.
McCall’s view, reported by The Scottish Sun, is a claim rather than confirmation of formal talks. That distinction matters, because Ferguson remains a Bologna player and Rangers have not announced any move involving either midfielder.
Why the Raskin claim matters for Rangers
Raskin is one of the few Rangers midfielders with the athletic profile to interest clubs outside Scotland, and that gives any transfer claim around him extra weight. Ferguson, meanwhile, would arrive with Serie A experience, Scotland pedigree and a family name already woven into the Ibrox story.
The practical question is whether Rangers could afford that kind of deal without a significant outgoing sale. A straight purchase for Ferguson would likely be difficult, which is why the idea of Raskin being part of a wider structure will catch attention.
For now, the safest reading is simple: McCall has put a plausible recruitment debate into public view, not revealed a completed transfer track. Rangers supporters should treat it as a marker of the midfield rebuild McInnes may have to balance, with value, status and homegrown appeal all pulling in different directions.
