Rangers accept Birmingham bid for Ferguson

Barry Ferguson’s Rangers career moved closer to an end when the Ibrox club today accepted a bid from Birmingham City.

Ferguson, 31, will discuss terms with the Barclays Premier League club managed by his former Rangers and Scotland manager Alex McLeish.

It was reported that the bid is around £1m although that has not been confirmed.

If terms are agreed, Ferguson will return to the top flight in England four-and-half years after a spell at Blackburn Rovers.

And if the midfielder leaves Rangers, he will follow Brahim Hemdani, Christian Dailly and Graeme Smith out the Ibrox door this summer.
