Birmingham wrap up Barry Ferguson transfer
Published 17:36 17/07/09 By
Birmingham have today completed the signing of Rangers bad boy Barry Ferguson for a fee believed to be in the region of £1.2million.
The Scottish champions accepted a bid from the Premier League side on Wednesday as Brum boss Alex McLeish stepped up his long-standing interest in the former Scotland captain.
And the 31-year-old completed the move this afternoon, signing a three-year contract to return to England for the first time since an injury-plagued spell at Blackburn.
Ferguson's time at Rangers soured last season when he was stripped of the captaincy following a breach of discipline while on international duty.
He returned for the final three games of the season but his future remained in doubt. He joins compatriots McLeish, Garry O'Connor and James McFadden at St Andrews.
