BURNLEY midfielder Jack Cork has a tip for friend and former team-mate Scott Arfield ahead of the new Rangers player’s league debut at Aberdeen.

With a smile, he revealed: “I’ll text Scott and tell him to mark the geezer who does overhead kicks. I’ll tell him they will need to get tight to him.”

The entire Rangers team, not just Arfield who spent five years at Burnley, will surely be aware of Aberdeen’s Lewis Ferguson after his performances in his side’s European games.

And the Burnley players were keen to add their plaudits to the man which have come the way of the latest product of one of the country’s most famous football families.

Cork said: “It was a great goal. It was unbelievable. Sometimes when someone scores a goal like that you just have to put your hands up and say well done.

“Ferguson looked good. He’s strong and aggressive on the ball but Aberdeen have a lot of good players. Joe Lewis had a great game. The defenders did well, the midfielders worked hard, Graeme Shinnie was good on the ball. Their striker Sam Cosgrove was a handful. It was never an easy game for us at any stage of the two legs.

“At half-time something was happening with Cosgrove and one of our lads and he [Ferguson] was trying to hold off three players. I told him to calm down, leave it and just stay out of the way.

“That was it though. But it was a bloody good goal. Maybe I should have told him to calm down before the game!”

And Chris Wood, the Burnley striker, is another new fan of Aberdeen’s teenager.

He said: "Lewis Ferguson scored what can only be described as a wonder goal and you can’t prepare for something like that. People have special talents and pull off special things and it was one of those on the night

"Scott McKenna is a good player. He’s worked well and probably deserves the interest he’s getting from elsewhere but he needs to keep focused on what he’s doing and not worry about speculation until a move happens.”
