Lewis Ferguson joined Bologna from Aberdeen in the summer for a fee of around £3.2m.

Three other substitute appearances in Serie A preceded the outing on the Amalfi coast, although with a total of just 36 minutes, Ferguson wasn't able to show his full talents. And now Ferguson has notched his first goal for his new club with a bullet header from a corner against newly-promoted Lecce after former Manchester United target Marko Arnautovic had put them 1-0 to the good. Ferguson made his first start for Bologna last Sunday in the 3-2 defeat to Napoli, largely impressing against the side that have rampaged Rangers' Champions League group so far this season with four wins from four.
