Rangers FC brought in Sheyi Ojo on loan from Liverpool last month and Barry Ferguson believes that the winger could be the next big thing at Ibrox.

Sheyi Ojo, 22, has come up through the ranks at Liverpool and he has been moving around England on various loan spells for the past couple of seasons.

During the 2018-19 season, Sheyi Ojo was sent out on loan to Ligue 1 side Reims where he ended up having a rather disappointing time. But still, Barry Ferguson has predicted that the winger will have a wonderful season under Steven Gerrard.

The former Gers man said: “There’s never too much to be taken from the first competitive game of the summer – especially against part-timers on a plastic pitch at the end of a runway in Gibraltar.

“But while I’m not about to get carried away with Rangers for beating St Joseph’s 4-0, I’m happy to get myself worked up about the performance of new boy Sheyi Ojo.

“The opposition were no great shakes and Steven Gerrard’s side looked a little bit rusty in the first half before starting to find a bit of rhythm after the break.

“But Ojo? This kid stood out like a sore thumb from the very first kick of the ball and it looks like my old club have got a real player on their hands.

“It’s not about the standard of the team he was up against, it’s about the tools he’s got in his locker and from this first look it seems as if he might have the lot.

He’s powerful, strong, athletic and a great runner with a good work ethic. Technically he’s really impressive and the way he took his goal on Tuesday night was classy and composed.

“Listen, it’s important not to put too much expectation on his young shoulders and to remember that he’s up here for a reason. If he was the finished article he’d be in the Liverpool squad by now.

“But none of that changes the fact that this is a young boy with enormous potential.

“Put it this way, I could see in 90 minutes exactly why Jurgen Klopp wanted Ojo tied up on a five-year contract before he sanctioned the loan move. You don’t do that with young players unless you’re reasonably certain they’re going to be first-team material in a matter of time.

“Ojo has huge potential and I believe he’s gone to the perfect place to help him fulfil it because playing for Rangers is all about coping with demands. That’s why Liverpool will be so pleased to let him play up here for a season as this will be a critical part of his development.”
