Scottish football news: Quintet eye Scotland star, Rangers to pull out stops for new deal, fresh Aberdeen candidate emerges

Five wanted Ferguson
Lewis Ferguson, a midfielder from Scotland, has impressed enough teams in Serie A that five clubs are now interested in signing him. Italian premier league teams Napoli and Juventus The former Hamilton Accies and Aberdeen player, who is currently the captain of the Rossoblu, has reportedly drawn interest from AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Lazio. Manager Steve Clarke is set to call up 24-year-old Ferguson to the Scotland squad later today.

Rangers are anticipated to go far for Lundstram.
Lewis Ferguson, a Scottish midfielder with Bologna, is attracting interest from several Italian teams.

Barry Ferguson thinks Rangers will use every effort to secure a new deal for midfield player John Lundstram. After the season, the 30-year-old’s current contract expires. Ferguson, a former Ibrox star who also played midfield, stated: “I think they’ll do everything they can to tie him down.” He’s made his game simpler. He exudes a genuine sense of leadership and exudes a tremendous energy level. He’s one of those men that, in my opinion, is a disappearing species in football because he’s always talking to people and will always have their backs when he doesn’t think they’re doing appropriately. He has been Rangers’ most reliable player since the new manager took over.
Aberdeen is keeping an eye on Mark Fotheringham.

as an applicant for the open position in Aberdeen. The Dons are allegedly nearing a permanent appointment to replace Barry Robson after the unexpected departure of Neil Warnock as temporary manager over the weekend. The former coach of Huddersfield and Hertha Berlin is on the shortlist. Earlier this year, Fotheringham served as South Korea’s coach for the Asian Cup.

Naismith: Let’s hope for a successful day.
Hearts’ head coach Steven Naismith is certain that his team’s recent success and trophy-driven mentality will give them a chance against Rangers at Hampden. Hearts defeated Morton 1-0 at Cappielow to secure their spot in the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup semi-final.

In the draw for the final four, Naismith’s team was instantly awarded a rematch of their Viaplay Cup semifinal, which Rangers had won 3-1 in November. Thankfully, we have advanced to the semifinals before this season, so we must capitalize on that, Naismith stated. You put in a lot of effort to go through the rounds and reach the final stages, so we will look forward to it. Since the previous semi-final, we have made significant progress; we hope to do so once more in order to increase our chances of winning. We are constructing that desire and drive because winning trophies requires it, so maybe today will be excellent.
