Derek Ferguson Biography

Derek Ferguson is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on July 31, 1967 in Calderbank, Scotland, United Kingdom. Derek Ferguson (born 31 July 1967) is an Scottish soccer player and manager. A dynamic midfielder, Ferguson is best remembered for his time at Rangers as well as Heart of Midlothian.

In the month of August, 1990 Heart of Midlothian spent the club’s record of PS750,000 to move Ferguson from Tynecastle. Ferguson was a regular within the Hearts team for the following three seasons, which included 1991-92 which saw them finish runners-up in league. His excellent performances led to an offer to Sunderland as Sunderland manager Terry Butcher (his former captain at Rangers) taking him on in an exchange deal that allowed John Colquhoun to return to Hearts.

After two seasons on Wearside, Ferguson moved back to Scotland when Falkirk paid Sunderland £250,000 for his services in 1995. He spent three years with the Bairns before spending a single season (1998–99) with Dunfermline Athletic, brief period with Portadown in the Irish League during the 1999–00 season and a month with Partick Thistle. Ferguson next had a short spell in Australian soccer with Adelaide Force before returning to Scotland to play for a succession of lower league clubs, namely Ross County, Clydebank (scoring once against future club Hamilton), Alloa Athletic, Hamilton Academical and finally Raith Rovers.

Ferguson is the elder brother of Barry Ferguson, who also played for Rangers and Scotland in the same position. The siblings played against each other on three occasions during the 1998–99 season while Derek was with Dunfermline, with 20-year-old Barry scoring at East End Park and 31-year-old Derek making his last appearance at Ibrox.

In the following few seasons, Ferguson slowly fell out of favor at Ibrox and had a tense relations with Ibrox boss Graeme Souness preventing him from progressing as expected. Ian Ferguson (no relation) and veteran Ray Wilkins were often preferred at the position. Also, he suffered injuries, which included a repeated shoulder injury that was dislocated. In 1989-90 , he was transferred by Dundee and it was clear that his future would not be with Rangers but he was hesitant to quit the club. He played for 148 times across every competition for Rangers with 8 goals scored.
