I will not play again: Ranger key player has decided to quit due to…

Barry Ferguson and Andy Walker believe that Rangers were right to keep Ridvan Yilmaz in the winter transfer window despite interest from Turkey.

The left-back has been linked with a return to his home country ever since he stepped off the plane at Glasgow with rumours of his return to Besiktas cropping up every window.

Yilmaz has been in decent form this season with Philippe Clement even using the defender at right-back when needed.

Speaking on the Go Radio Football Show (6 February), Ferguson and Walker shared their thoughts on the “outstanding” Yilmaz.

“He’s [Yilmaz] picked up another slight knock but overall I think when he’s been called upon he’s been good and I like the fact that he’s adjusted his position as well because he’s a natural leftie playing on the right and that can be difficult at times,” Ferguson said.

“It’s good to see that he wasn’t interested in moving and that he wants to stay at fight for his position at left-back.”

Walker agreed with Ferguson’s stance and added the following: “One of his better games was obviously against Celtic where you thought that might have been an area that Celtic might have been able to capitalise on.
