Ferguson retains Rangers dream but Bologna exit never close

Lewis Ferguson celebrated his 28th appearance for Scotland as his side drew 0-0 with Slovenia on Saturday. Despite rumors of interest from his boyhood club Rangers, Ferguson revealed he was never close to leaving Bologna. The 27-year-old midfielder, who started his career at Rangers at 14, has led Bologna to their first Coppa Italia triumph in over half a century.

However, he experienced a decline in playing time last season under Vincenzo Italiano, making just 17 league appearances. Ferguson, who currently has until 2028 on his contract, expressed that nothing was ever close to him leaving Bologna. He admitted that the possibility of a return to Ibrox remains in the back of his mind but he is fully committed to his current club.

Ferguson's family has a strong Rangers connection, with his father and uncle both having played for the club.
