Bologna’s Ferguson Aims for First Victory Against Celtic
Bologna’s Ferguson is gearing up for his first victory against Celtic amidst personal challenges in his career. After helping the Scottish national team qualify for the upcoming World Cup, he has struggled to secure a regular spot in his club’s lineup. Ferguson has expressed frustration at spending more time on the bench than he is accustomed to.
Ferguson’s Journey with Bologna
Ferguson acknowledged the ups and downs of football, stating, “It’s normal; I’m working hard to return to the starting XI.” He emphasized that despite the tough situation, the focus remains on preparing for upcoming matches in the same disciplined manner. He said, “We need the points, and we’ve prepared for the game as we always do.”
Challenges Facing Celtic
Celtic, known for being a strong team, has had its share of difficulties this season, including multiple coaching changes. Ferguson noted his familiarity with Celtic and highlighted their talented roster. “I’ve played against them many times and know their good players,” he stated.
Looking Ahead to the World Cup
While Ferguson is currently not a guaranteed starter at Bologna, he is not letting that affect his outlook for the World Cup in North America. The pain of missing Euro 2024 due to a cruciate injury provides him with motivation. “Every player in Scotland shares this feeling. It’s devastating to miss a major tournament due to injury,” he remarked.
- Ferguson’s current focus: Securing a starting position at Bologna.
- Upcoming match: Bologna aims for victory against Celtic.
- World Cup aspirations: Motivation stems from past injury setbacks.
Ferguson’s attitude reflects the resilience of not only himself but of all Scottish players looking forward to World Cup 2026. “It’s an exciting time to be a Scotland player and fan,” he concluded.
