Hamilton Academical

[edit]

Ferguson is a graduate of the Hamilton Academical youth system[3] after earlier being part of the setup at Rangers.[4][5] He made his senior debut for Hamilton on 20 January 2018,[6] and became a regular in the team in the latter part of the 2017–18 season, replacing Greg Docherty who had moved to Rangers.[7]

With his contract due to expire at the end of that season, Ferguson signed a pre-contract agreement with Aberdeen in May 2018.[7][8] He was one of seven first-team players who left Hamilton at the end of the 2017–18 season.[9]

Aberdeen

[edit]

Ferguson made his competitive debut for Aberdeen on 26 July 2018, in the first leg of a Europa League tie against Burnley at Pittodrie Stadium.[10][11] He scored his first senior goal in the second leg at Turf Moor – a "stunning overhead kick" – although Burnley eventually won the tie on aggregate after extra time.[12] On 28 October, he helped Aberdeen to reach the 2018 Scottish League Cup Final by scoring the only goal of the semi-final against Rangers at Hampden Park.[13] By the end of the calendar year, he had also scored three league goals, all in the closing minutes of each fixture, with two of them (a free kick against Kilmarnock[14] and another overhead kick against Livingston)[15] winning the matches for his team.

In February 2019, Ferguson extended his contract with Aberdeen, keeping him at the club until 2024.[16] In April, he played at Hampden Park again, but this time was sent off for a dangerous challenge as Aberdeen lost to Celtic in the semi-final of the 2018–19 Scottish Cup.[17] In May 2019, he was nominated for the season's PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year; the award was won by Ryan Kent.[18]

Ferguson was the club's top scorer during the 2020–21 season, with 10 goals in 41 appearances.[19] Aberdeen rejected an offer from Watford for Ferguson in May 2021, after which he submitted a written transfer request.[19]

Bologna

[edit]

On 12 July 2022, Italian club Bologna announced the signing of Ferguson for an undisclosed transfer fee.[20][21] He made his debut as a substitute in a 2–0 away defeat to Milan on 27 August 2022,[22] and made two more substitute appearances before his first start against Napoli on 16 October.[23] His first goal came a week later, the second in a 2–0 win at home to Lecce, and he scored again the following week – the equaliser in a 2–1 away win over Monza.[22] On 12 November 2022, he scored Bologna's third goal in a 3–0 win over Sassuolo, a curling effort from the edge of the penalty area after a one-two with Nicolás Domínguez that was later named the Serie A goal of the month for November 2022.[24][25] Ferguson started 28 games for Bologna during the 2022–23 season as they finished ninth in Serie A.[26] He scored seven goals during the season, which was the highest tally by a Scottish player in an Italian league season since Denis Law played for Torino in 1961–62.[26]

In July 2023, Ferguson signed a new contract with Bologna that is due to run until the end of the 2026–27 season.[26] In October 2023 he became Bologna's captain,[27][28] and he continued in that role,[29][30][31] until suffering a knee injury in April 2024.[32][33] He later said it would be six or seven months before he could re-start training.[34]

Ferguson became the top Scottish goalscorer in Serie A history on 23 December 2023, overtaking Denis Law, when he scored the only goal in a 1–0 win against Atalanta.[35] He was named the Serie A midfielder of the year for the 2023–24 season.[36]

On 29 October 2024, Ferguson was named in a matchday squad for the first time in over six months, remaining on the bench as Bologna beat Cagliari 2–0.[37] He said that "the Scottish mentality" helped him recover from his injury quicker than expected.[38] He made his return to the pitch in Bologna's 1–0 win over Lecce on 2 November, coming on as an 82-minute substitute for Remo Freuler.[39] Later that month, he extended his Bologna contract until 2028[40] and made his UEFA Champions League debut against Lille, in which he played a full 90 minutes for the first time in over seven months.[41]

Ferguson captained Bologna to their first final in 51 years, beating Empoli 2–1 (5–1 on aggregate), on 30 April 2025 to reach the Coppa Italia final.[42][43] Ferguson was captain again winning the final 1–0 versus Milan on 14 May 2025.[44] Ferguson emulated Graeme Souness to become the second Scotsman to win the Coppa Italia.[45]

International career

[edit]

Ferguson was called up by the Scotland under-19 team in August 2017,[46] and he went on to make appearances at the under-19, under-20 and Scotland under-21 levels.[47] Ferguson received his first call-up to the senior Scotland squad in August 2021 for games against Denmark, Moldova and Austria.[48] He made his debut against Denmark on 1 September 2021 in a 2–0 away loss, coming on for Billy Gilmour in added time.[49]

He suffered a knee injury in April 2024 which required surgery and put his participation at Euro 2024 into doubt.[32][33] After missing the tournament due to injury, he said his "time would come" with the national team.[50] He was recalled by the national team in March 2025.[51]

In October 2025 Ferguson scored his first goal in a full international, the second goal in a 3–1 win against Greece during 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification.[52]
