Neil Murray played alongside the then British transfer record signing who has returned to Scottish football 30 years later.
Neil Murray admits he wishes Rangers had seen the best of Duncan Ferguson as a player after the return of one of Scottish football’s biggest names.
Ferguson ended up moving to Goodison Park where he became a legend for two spells, sandwiched between a stint at Newcastle United. But former Light Blues midfielder Murray, who also served as a scout at Ibrox after he retired, wished it had worked out. He told Lucky Block: “If Dunc could’ve played for Rangers the way he did for Everton, it would’ve been a massive plus for Rangers. To be fair to Dunc, going down south was probably the best thing that happened to him.
“Dunc was a great guy. What augured well for any place he’s been since Rangers was that he’s a good teammate. He would back anyone up in any situation, rightly or wrongly. As a personality, a figurehead, as someone who’s going to lead there’s no question over him taking responsibility. As a youngster, signing at 21, he had that immaturity about him when a player at Rangers.
