Lewis Ferguson names iconic stadium as 'best he's played in' ahead of Celtic and Rangers' homes

Lewis Ferguson has played against Celtic and Rangers on packed out away days.

But it is a different stadium he has named as the BEST he has played in. The Scotland international traded the Scottish Premiership for a crack at Italy as he swapped Aberdeen for Bologna in Serie A. During his time in his home country he faced full houses at both Parkhead and Ibrox, hailing both as 'amazing' when full. He's also experienced a full capacity Hampden but something about the iconic San Siro just hits differently for the midfielder.

He's stuck the home of AC Milan and Inter Milan right to the top of his list as he explained his reasons why while taking part in the Scotland National Team's Forza Scozia documentary. He said: "The San Siro is the best I've played in. I don't know, there's just something different. I know I've played at Celtic Park and Ibrox when it's full and they are amazing. The atmosphere is incredible.

"I've played at Hampden when it's full. But I don't know if it's just because it's a foreign stadium and a foreign atmosphere, it's different.

"It's such an iconic stadium as well. You don't realise how big it is until you're inside it. When you come through the big long tunnel and you come up the steps onto the pitch it gives you that wow factor."

The midfielder has been named in Steve Clarke's Scotland squad for the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers with Cyprus and Spain.

The national team are guaranteed the parachute of a play-off spot from their Nations League exploits but they will be hoping to avoid having to use the backdoor to qualify for the finals with a Hampden double-header kicking off proceedings starting this weekend.
