Rangers Miss Out on Lewis Ferguson as Celtic's Transfer Strategy Praised

Rangers did not complete a transfer for Scotland midfielder Lewis Ferguson, who had previously agreed to join the club this summer. According to his father, Derek, Rangers failed to make an offer to Bologna, making a January transfer unlikely for the 27-year-old.

In other transfer news, Besiktas did not meet Rangers' £20m asking price for Nicolas Raskin, prompting manager Derek McInnes to advise the 25-year-old Belgium midfielder to focus on his performance to secure a lucrative move in January. Additionally, McInnes plans to provide updates on John Souttar's future next week after a potential transfer did not occur.

Celtic, on the other hand, were willing to pay around £9m for Gvidas Gineitis, but Torino's valuation of the 22-year-old midfielder is closer to £13m. Former Celtic manager Gordon Strachan praised the club's recruitment efforts, calling them phenomenal despite some criticism.
