Former Rangers interim head coach Barry Ferguson praised on-loan midfielder Bailey Rice, highlighting the 19-year-old's "cultured left foot" as a standout feature. Speaking on Five Stars VIP on September 29, Ferguson noted that while Rice still has aspects of his game to improve, the Scottish midfielder has the potential for a very bright future if he continues to work hard.
