Aberdeen star Duk tipped for Rangers with Michael Beale 'crying out' for centre forward says pundit

Si Ferry believes Rangers are 'crying out' for a centre forward and Aberdeen star Duk FITS the bill.

The Dons hitman has scored 11 goals in all competitions to date in his debut season at Pittodrie including a stunning free-kick goal in the last meeting with the Light Blues. He will play a key role for Jim Goodwin's men at Hampden later today if the Reds are to cause an upset against Michael Beale and Co and reach the Viaplay Cup Final.

Celtic await the winner after a 2-0 win over Kilmarnock as Ange Postecoglou's holders move to within 90 minutes of potentially retaining their trophy. Alfredo Morelos is likely to start at the national stadium with top scorer Antonio Colak 'touch and go' for the last four meeting. Kemar Roofe is fit and ready but the forward options is one former Hoops kid and Open Goal Broomhill boss Ferry believes Beale will be looking at going forward.

And he reckons they need to look no further than today's opponents with 'quick' Duk fitting the type of player the Rangers boss needs. Ferry is in no doubt he will be at Aberdeen until the summer before looking at his options.

Speaking to Grosvenor Sport, he said: "Rangers are crying out for a centre forward and Duk would fit the type of player that they need.

"He's quick, which is what Michael Beale wants in the forward areas and If he keeps scoring goals then you can definitely see teams wanting to take him away from Pittodrie.

"I think Duk will be at Aberdeen until the end of the season and then in the summer, he'll look at his options."
