Barry Ferguson is baffled by Ridvan Yilmaz’s lack of Rangers action, but has a theory as to why the Turk hasn’t been used much.
The left back arrived from Besiktas for a fee of £5million in the summer as the Ibrox club ploughed some of the £19million they got for Calvin Bassey back into Gio van Bronckhorst ’s squad. Things didn’t get off to a great start for Yilmaz however as he made his debut in Rangers’ 2-0 Champions League third qualifying round first leg defeat to Union Saint Gilloise.
He’s played just three times since. Yilmaz got just over an hour of the 3-0 home Premiership win over Kilmarnock and 90 minutes against Queen of the South in the Premier Sports Cup, which a much changed Gers side won 3-1. It was then back into cold storage until a late cameo in this month's 4-0 victory over St Mirren at Ibrox.
