Lewis Ferguson has revealed his Hampden winner against Rangers for Aberdeen put him in the 'doghouse' with his Gers-daft brothers.
The Scotland international - now plying his trade in Italy's Serie A with Bologna - ran out with the Dons at Hampden in the League Cup semi-finals five years ago and ended up the hero on the day as he sparked wild scenes in the red end of the ground. It is safe to say things at home weren't quite the same. The Rangers supporting backing were all pleased for him personally - but not from a result point of view and it put him in the bad books.
Fast-forward to 2023 and Jim Goodwin will be hoping his troops can replicate the heroics of Derek McInnes' side as they dumped Steven Gerrard's men out. Michael Beale is now the main man in the dugout as both sides compete for a spot in the Viaplay Cup Final. Reflecting on that moment at the national stadium, Ferguson told the Scottish Daily Express: “That goal put me in the doghouse with my brothers. My whole family was there and my two brothers, Darren and Ross, are massive Rangers fans. My dad said that when I scored he didn’t know it was myself that had scored because they had all jumped up.
