‘I cried like a big baby’ – being a Scotland international’s dad

Five medals for your nation, all domestic. A career that is undoubtedly rewarding. What could defeat it? Of course, your son is reliving your success.

Derek Ferguson, a former Scotland and Rangers midfielder whose son Lewis has become a sort of cult hero in Italy, is one of those players.

With victory in the Coppa Italia final against AC Milan, the 25-year-old Bologna captain and midfielder put an end to the club’s 51-year quest for a major trophy.

The Scotland cap is currently being linked to Juventus, according to rumors, but Ferguson senior Ferguson’s son has been told to focus on his recent success for the time being.

At the end of the day, Ferguson told Sportsound on BBC Radio Scotland, “I cried like a big baby.” I simply exclaimed “hi.”

I wouldn’t let him leave when I gave him a hug. He probably doesn’t understand that. Because they are such talented young men, it’s amazing to see his face and his team-mates.

Some players have a career that goes on forever without winning. You must take note of these particular moments.

I’m very excited, I think. That was my life’s best footballing night or day. Never since I’ve won a few cups and a few league titles, have I felt that way. Just a special moment, really.

Ferguson, along with Motherwell 18-year-old Lennon Miller, Billy Gilmour and Scott McTominay of Serie A winners Napoli, both featured in Scotland’s most recent friendly double-header with Iceland and Liechtenstein.

The Scots won the second game 4-0 at home after losing to Iceland 3-1 in the previous one with a midfielder.

Miller has until March 31 to complete his contract at Fir Park, and Well’s chances of getting a good price for him are waning.

He’s “made to measure for Italy,” Derek Ferguson continued.

Lennon has improved since I watched him as a 16-year-old because he’s already improved this season. You can already tell that he will succeed.

Lee, Miller’s father, a former Scotland international who played for Aberdeen, Dundee United, and Heart of Midlothian, made hints that his son is interested in moving abroad.

He praised the Scots abroad, noting that they have been shown a lot of faith and are being given an opportunity to express themselves.

Miller senior made it clear that Lennon had “asked questions” of the Scots while on international duty.

Miller said, “He’s confident in his own abilities, but he’s not haughty of it.” He seems happy and content in this environment, he says.

He needs to pursue a career that is “mature enough” and allow him to go on it. I’m more certain that he will prosper there. It would, in my opinion, raise his game even higher.

“That’s how he plays,” he says. He organizes and puts pressure on the ball. Watching it, seeing him being himself and not changing, was proud for me as a father.

Miller admits to being “a bad spectator” when his son “gets nervous, excited, and anxious” when he watches him. It’s not known where he might be watching in the upcoming season.

He stated, “He’s back at Motherwell training tomorrow.”

He said, “We’ll just wait and see what happens, but in the end, he just wants to play football.” Yes, he wants to advance his career, and there has been a lot of discussion about various clubs.
