Lewis Ferguson reveals Rangers near miss as former Aberdeen star coveted by Champions League rivals

Scotland international Lewis Ferguson has revealed he could have been lining up against Rangers next week if suitors Union Saint-Gilloise won the race for his signature.

The 22-year-old plumped for a move to Serie A side Bologna but the Ibrox side's rivals in Champions League qualifying were keen to secure his signature. Ferguson admits the lure of starring in one of European football's top five leagues proved too much to turn down but he did share a joke with his agent after the third qualifying draw was made.

The midfielder landed Aberdeen £3 million and has opened up on the multiple suitors who were targeting his signature before he left the Granite City. Speaking to the Daily Mail, he said: "There were a few options in Europe and USG was one of them.
