Scott Brown Aberdeen antics have us in stitches, says Pittodrie ace Lewis Ferguson

Aberdeen star Lewis Ferguson says he and his teammates have been left in stitches by the on-field antics of captain Scott Brown.

The former Celtic skipper was in full wind-up mode on Tuesday, waving off Rangers' Ryan Kent following his red card in the 1-1 Pittodrie draw, before putting an arm around Ibrox captain James Tavernier.

At one point Brown was also spotted counting to nine on his fingers, in reference to Celtic's nine-in-a-row Premiership run, which included an historic quadruple treble.

Ferniegair native Ferguson, who is the nephew of Rangers legend Barry and the son of Ibrox ace Derek, scored a penalty to level the game, following Alfredo Morelos' hand ball.

And Ferguson says he's loving lining up with the highly experienced 36-year-old midfielder.

Ferguson, 22, said: "He is not shy, but that is just the way he is. You don't expect anything less from him.

"He gives them a bit and they give him a bit - it is a bit of back and forth.

"It is funny for us, because we can laugh at the fans and 'Broonie' messing about.

"It's the way he is, and the type of guy he is.

"He buzzes off it, and that stuff helps him to play better when people are on top of him, and giving him a bit.

"That is what brings the best out of him."

Ferguson admits he got lucky with his penalty, with wind moving the ball just before he rifled it into the net.

"I've not missed one yet and, touch wood, I won't miss the next one," he said. "I enjoy taking them and scoring.

"As I was running up to hit it, the ball has rolled. I'm not sure if it was off the spot or not, but I just went with it.

"It put me off a wee bit, but I went and put my foot through it.

"Thankfully it hit the net, although it caused a wee bit of a scare."
