‘Woeful’ – Ferguson destroys big-money Rangers player, he offers ‘absolutely nothing’

Fabio Silva has come under fire from Derek Ferguson for his recent performances, as Rangers drew 0-0 with Dundee at Dens Park to extend their winless streak to three games.

The forward has been “woeful” in his last five or six appearances for Philippe Clement’s squad, according to the former Ibrox player, who also claimed that he gives “absolutely nothing” to the team.

Ferguson quipped that there must be a clause in his contract at Ibrox that prevents him from being left off the starting lineup as he questioned how his price tag was ever established at £35 million.

During an April 18 podcast interview, Ferguson angrily declared, “Silva offers absolutely nothing.” Given how awful he’s been playing the last five or six games, there ought to be a condition in his contract requiring him to start every game.

He doesn’t make any contribution at all. A player worth £35 million? He doesn’t do anything at all. Nothing to contribute. The truth is, at this point in the season, mental toughness and the ability to handle pressure are essential if you want to win. It truly is disheartening.

Derek Ferguson lashes out at the Rangers, while Fabio Silva sulks once again.

Prior to being replaced by Rabbi Matondo just after the interval, the Wolves loanee put on another lacklustre performance as he failed to have any impact on the game in the last third of the match.

Because of Silva’s anonymous play, BBC writer Tom English added fuel to the fire during the Dens Park match, implying that Clement’s team was operating with ten men until Silva was substituted out in the second half.

Expectations have always been high for Silva because of his quick start to his Ibrox career, which had supporters and commentators begging for him to stay at Rangers past the conclusion of his loan term. He hasn’t yet lived up to them all.

Ferguson’s outburst is understandable given the disappointing results at Ibrox, but Silva is not merely being used as a scapegoat; he needs to improve in the upcoming days and weeks.
