BARRY FERGUSON has told GoRadio his nephew Lewis wouldn’t flinch at signing for Celtic if the club came in for the midfielder.
Lewis ties with the other side of Glasgow are strong; his Dad and uncle both played for the club and he also started his career there, as well as being a supporter.
There’s no doubt the lad has talent but many feel his ties elsewhere would prohibit Celtic from bringing him in. That’s not what Celtic have done in the past and it certainly shouldn’t be what happens in the future.
We should always sign the very best Scottish talent, if Neil Lennon deemed Ferguson as a player he wanted and Lewis wanted to come, then that would be that.
Barry basically says the same as cited by RecordSport.
“He’s got a good head on his shoulders and I don’t think that would worry him. Whether Celtic are interested in him, I don’t know, I know there’s been a lot of talk about Celtic and Rangers.
“If I’m being honest, I do think he’s good enough to play for both of those teams. Each year he’s improved and this season he’s had a real good start.
“I wouldn’t hold anything against him, I just want the best for him and for him to have a good career in the game. He’s done it the hard way, he let go by Rangers as a kid. He had that knock, went to Hamilton and worked his way up and got the move to Aberdeen.
“He’s flourished under Derek McInnes and I think if he keeps his form up that he’s shown, I think Aberdeen will find it hard to hold onto him.”
There’s no real link there at the moment and you’d think if it became a choice between both clubs, Lewis would go with his heart, but it shouldn’t be a deal which is out of the question.
Celtic signed David Turnbull at the end of August and unless players are moved on, we’re full to capacity in midfield.
