What happened
Bologna and Scotland midfielder Lewis Ferguson has reiterated his long-standing ambition to one day play for Rangers, the club he supported as a boy. However, the 25-year-old has dismissed suggestions that a move away from Serie A was imminent, insisting his exit from Bologna 'was never close.' Ferguson joined Bologna from Aberdeen in 2022 and has established himself as a key player in Serie A, helping the club qualify for European competition.
Chance analysis
Lewis Ferguson's comments underline a familiar duality for Scottish players abroad: deep emotional ties to a boyhood club and a firm commitment to the project that elevated his career. Having grown into a central figure at Bologna and a Scotland regular, the midfielder has little reason to agitate for a move, and his framing leaves the door open for a future return without destabilising his present. For Rangers, the remarks will keep the storyline alive in fan discourse but carry no immediate transfer signal.
Ferguson's Bologna status is unaffected, and Rangers gain no concrete squad reinforcement from this article.
