Moyes confirms Baz interest

Ferguson is looking to secure a move to The Premiership after handing in a transfer request, and Rovers confirmed their interest last week.

Rangers confirmed a second approach had been made over the weekend, and Moyes has now revealed his side have had a long-standing interest in the Ibrox club`s skipper.

A deal for Sean Davis has not yet been sealed, and Moyes may push on for Ferguson if he fails to thrash out a move for the Fulham man.

Commenting on the interest in Ferguson, he said: "He is a player I have long admired and we are interested in him."

Moyes, though, believes he could be beaten to the punch in the race to sign Ferguson.

He added: "I am trying my utmost to get some new faces in this week before the deadline, and I am trying to do as much as I can.

"Barry Ferguson is not just a flyer, we have got an interest in him and I have done for months and months, and he's another name who I would love to have here.

"Potentially I am not sure that we have the finances that Rangers are after."
