The former Rangers midfielder’s son is due to face Steven Gerrard’s side down the road from Ibrox at Hampden Park.
The former Rangers midfielder Derek Ferguson is facing an awkward Sunday afternoon.
Rangers are playing Aberdeen – the club by whom Ferguson’s son, Lewis, is employed – in the semi-finals of Scottish League Cup at Hampden Park.
And the Ibrox side will have a bumper following behind them, having been given additional tickets which the Dons failed to sell.
Last week, Ferguson Snr claimed Aberdeen fans should be embarrassed by the situation – and now he is being sent to sit with them.
Speaking to the Daily Record, Ferguson Jnr explained: “My dad will always support me and I think he’ll be in the Aberdeen end on Sunday – well hopefully, because I’ll be the one getting him tickets. My dad always supports me no matter what.
“I’ve been getting stick off my brothers and my pals about it. They are all Rangers fans so I’ve been having banter with them. They wind me up and I wind them up.
“Hopefully I can put one over my brothers and pals and have the last laugh. My pals will probably be in the Rangers end so it would be good to beat them. Hopefully I can get a goal and celebrate in front of them.”
Ferguson Jnr moved to Aberdeen from Hamilton in the summer transfer window and has scored or assisted two goals in nine appearances for Derek McInnes’s side.
The 19-year-old has already faced Rangers – for whom his uncle, Barry, also played across two spells and was captain – once this season.
Is Derek Ferguson right about Aberdeen’s failure to sell their initial allocation?
