Lewis Ferguson admits getting released by Rangers may be one of the best things to have happened to him, even if it did burn at the time.
The midfielder is now shining in Serie A at Bologna after a great stint at Aberdeen. It's not all been this good for the Scotland international though, who was released by the club his dad Derek and uncle Barry served with distniction in his position. It didn't get him too down though as he moved to hometown club Hamilton and made his name before the Dons snapped him up.
Growing up as a Rangers fan, it was a bitter pill to swallow, but one that helped shape his career. In an enlightening chat with the Head It Podcast, Ferguson said: "I was there for four years and I loved it. Going in and training at Murray Park, the facilities are top notch. It's so good for young players.
