However, Ferguson has put his faith in Bajrami by including the Albanian in his starting XI against Celtic this afternoon.
Bajrami has often been a substitute for Ferguson and called upon for cameo roles but is in from the start for the final derby tie of the season.

"There is no doubt in my mind that Nedim has got a lot of qualities," Ferguson told Rangers TV. "He doesn't show it enough in my opinion.
"We've spoken about it and now he has got an opportunity today to show the reason why Rangers went and spent that money on him.
"Technically he is a really gifted player, I want to see the other side of that as well, the dirty side of the game when you have to really track back and help your team-mates and work hard for the team.
"He is a player who has got real qualities, but he has just not shown it enough. What I said is to go and show it today."

Brendan Rodgers is driving force behind my Celtic exit but I want to make one thing clear about next step
Darren O'Dea has left the Hoops for Swansea City after the Welsh club got a glowing reference from their former gaffer Darren O'Dea is Swansea City's new No2 and he's making one thing clear over his Celtic exit. The 38-year-old leaves behind his boyhood club to start a new role as Alan Sheehan's No2 ahead of the new English Championship season. O'Dea came through the ranks at Parkhead as a player and also worked his way up in a coaching capacity with roles at U-18 and Celtic B level before some time in the first-team set-up under both Brendan Rodgers and Ange Postecoglou. The decision to leave was not one he took lightly while he admits Rodgers' endorsement of his new club was also a 'real big driver' in taking the huge step out of his comfort zone. He told the Swansea City website: 'I am delighted, I knew of the interest and I spoke with Alan a number of weeks ago. 'Obviously I have been with a club I have grown up in, so it was difficult to come to terms with the decision in terms of leaving, but once I spoke to him and had an insight into what the club is wanting to do, I wanted to join. 'I had a good understanding of the club anyway, but it's a really exciting project, one I wanted to be a part of and I am delighted it is done now. 'I would not have left Celtic unless it was for something I felt very strongly about. "Of course, the club and its prestige and the intensity of it is something I am used to, and I wanted to work with and for Alan. 'You combine those two things, and the conversations I have had with other people at the club who will be working with us, and it just fits. It's something I am really happy to be part of. 'I think Alan and I are similar in terms of how we work and how we see things. "He will be the one making the decisions, but I was clear I did not want to work in a way where I would sacrifice principles that I have got, and the conversations I had mean I know we are not going to be doing that. 'When the question came, it was a 'yes'.' He continued: 'This club is similar to Celtic in that it has a real identity, it is not just enough to come in here and just win, there needs to be more. There needs to be a product on the pitch that the fans relate to. 'Speaking to Brendan, who has been brilliant in all this, he talked about the fanbase having a big understanding of their football. "He could not have spoken more highly of the club and the city, and the DNA of the club. 'That is a real big driver in me wanting to come here, it's really important to me.'

Rangers £50m triple transfer is pie in the sky and here is brutal reality for fans
If we're going by social media the numbers just keep going up and up. By last night, the latest sale figure for Nicolas Raskin appeared to be sitting at £25 million. For Hamza Igamane, you're looking at around £15 million. Want to buy Mohamed Diomande? Let's call it £10 million. That's some going eh? £50 million in the coffers for three players who won the square root of hee-haw last season. They were part of a team who got their manager the sack and couldn't beat Queen's Park in 90 minutes or St Mirren over the course of three games. Now we're meant to believe that Europe's elite is suddenly after them and willing to spend big to get them. You can't help feeling the Rangers support might need to take a reality check here. Remember, this is a group of players who threw away the chance of a league title two seasons ago. This year, they weren't even at the races as they allowed Celtic to gallop clear, clinch 4-in-a-row and a Double. They let down their ex-gaffer, Philippe Clement, and when Barry Ferguson took interim charge - they turned up for Old Firm games or Europe but were posted missing against the rest. So they're not world beaters, by any stretch. If you take the trio of Raskin, Diomande and Igamane - all three are assets to Rangers. That's indisputable. But as it stands, there have been no bids tabled for any of them. And what have they done exactly to merit these exaggerated transfer fees they might command? Raskin is the pick of the bunch. And of course, his recent inclusion in the Belgium team will have added real value. But a £25 million player? He hasn't done enough to earn that price tag. On his day, he's a quality player. But has he dominated games for Rangers regularly? It wasn't that long ago, with fellow Belgian Clement at the helm, that he couldn't get a start. Has he been the driving force in a title or trophy success? Not yet. To warrant that kind of fee, Raskin will have to be a lynchpin of Russell Martin's new-look side this season and win silverware. With two years left on his contract, Rangers should probably be trying to get him to sign an extension ahead of the World Cup next summer. If Raskin is really worth what the punters think he is, he'll have a stormer this term, be a key man for Belgium in the USA, Mexico and Canada - and then offers might come flooding in. With Diomande, there's been talk of Everton interest but no concrete bid. The Ivorian has a lot of good attributes but is nowhere near the finished article. He's blown hot and cold at Rangers. One week, he can be brilliant at Parkhead against Celtic. The next, he's anonymous at Motherwell. Again, he now has to step up to the plate for Martin if Rangers really want to get some bang for their buck and kick-start a proper player trading model. Igamane is similar. The Moroccan striker is a rough diamond. At his best, he's genial and explosive. At his worst, he spends 90 minutes trying to nutmeg people and making little impact. It's Martin's job to smooth out Igamane's edges and turn him into a prolific striker in Scotland - one that clubs in England and abroad can't ignore. It's understandable that Rangers fans want to start seeing some decent money coming in for their best players. They've had to watch Celtic rake in millions for their best talent over recent years. They'll argue that if Matt O'Riley can go for £25 million, why can't Raskin? And they've got a point. But O'Riley was scoring goals from midfield, winning Trebles and performing in the Champions League. Rangers are right not to set the bar low, given the ridiculous fees Premier League clubs pay these days. But getting rid of Raskin, Diomande and Igamane shouldn't be the priority for them, Martin or sporting director Kevin Thelwell. Because first of all, they need to get a return on some expensive flops. In this window, Rangers should be trying to offload Robin Propper, Ridvan Yilmaz, Ben Davies, Kieran Dowell, Jose Cifuentes, Nedim Bajrami, Rabbi Matondo and Danilo. If they can somehow get dough back on them - allied to the fresh investment from Andrew Cavenagh and the new owners - it will give the manager a chance to build something. A team who have the quality and mentality to put up a genuine challenge to Celtic for the title, as well as competing in the cups and Europe. And rather than selling them off - they should be hoping that Raskin, Diomande and Igamane are integral parts of that.
