Is Ferguson set for a summer of speculation after Coppa Italia triumph?
Vincenzo Italiano's side edged out AC Milan 1-0 to win the Coppa Italia to secure a place in next season's Europa League, and their first major trophy since 1974.
The former Hamilton Accies and Aberdeen midfielder suffered a cruciate ligament injury in April of last year that ruled him out of Scotland's Euro 2024 squad, only making his return from injury in November.
"I mean, you think about it, he's coming off the back of last season being voted in midfield of the year and [then] gets a career-threatening injury," Maurice Ross said on the Scottish Football Podcast.
"He then comes back in time, and he's now won a trophy abroad, which not many people can say they have done. I think it's a fantastic achievement."
Ross thinks attention may now turn to where Ferguson will play his football next season, with a possible move to a "bigger club" a possibility.
"And yeah, he deserves all the plaudits he's getting," Ross added
"And it'll be interesting to see what's next for him because I think he's done enough to warrant being mentioned with the bigger clubs abroad and in the UK."
