Lewis Ferguson is more than capable of following in his dad's footsteps by playing for Rangers - and the Aberdeen man could even follow his uncle in leading the team out at Ibrox.
The Dons midfielder has been a key player for the Pittodrie side since his move to the Granite City in 2018. He's made 169 appearances in red, netting 37 times with 23 assists from midfield. He has been previously linked with a move to Rangers as well as Watford, with Italian clubs also said to be sniffing about. It was reported English Championship club Millwall had a £2 million bid booted out last month.s
Ferguson started his career at Hamilton Accies and his family has strong ties at Ibrox. His dad Derek enjoyed seven years in Govan during the 80s and early 90s.

Uncle Barry was one of the finest to put on Light Blues of his generation, enjoying two spells which involved captaincy duties.
Former Accies owner Ronnie MacDonald is in no doubt that such an accolade could beckon for Aberdeen's Ferguson one day at the Premiership giants.
He told the Scottish Sun : "He’s a terrific lad with a great attitude and he’d have done it without questioning it. As a person and a player, Lewis is a diamond.
“He’s captaincy material and, when I look at him, he looks like a Rangers player and captain-type to me. Considering his family background, I can’t understand why there hasn’t been interest from them in him.
“He’s had four seasons at Aberdeen and he obviously sees this as the next step for him. I think people overlook how young he is and how much experience he’s got already."
