Ferguson wants no repeat of Greek tragedy

LEWIS FERGUSON believes Scotland's Greek tragedy in March forewarns them for the visit of Ivan Jovanovic's side in next month's 2026 World Cup qualifier at Hampden Park.

After bringing back an impressive 1-0 win from Piraeus in the first leg of their Nations League playoff, the Scots were comfortably beaten 3-0 in Glasgow to relegate Steve Clarke's side from League A.

Both teams were drawn together in Group C for the World Cup qualifiers and, after beating Belarus 2-0 in Hungary on Monday night, the Scots have four points from their opening two qualifiers ahead of the October visits of Greece and Belarus.

Bologna captain Ferguson is confident that lessons had been learned.

"We've played them away and at home, so we've seen what they're all about," said the 26-year-old, above.
