Their last appearance in the match came back in the 1973-74 season, when they lost on penalties to Palermo after a 1-1 draw. And they now know they will face Milan in the clash, after the Rossoneri took care of their city rivals Inter in the other semi-final. The former Aberdeen midfielder didn't get on the pitch on the night but is fit again after the recent injury which cost him the chance to take on Napoli. And he was right at the heart of the celebrations as Italy international Lorenzo de Silvestri took the megaphone - Kieran Tierney style - to lead the fans on the curva. Ferguson's future has been a source of some intrigue - despite the fact his current contract runs for another three years and his immediate future at Vincenzo Italiano's team is secure. Serie A rivals Napoli, where Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour are helping put together a remarkable title challenge, are believed to be massive admirers while Juventus have been keen in the past. In an interview with Ferguson said: 'I'm happy here and if we are playing in the Champions League then of course I would be happy to stay here. 'Also, if not, it's a beautiful place and a great club who's given me a lot. So I'm really happy here. "There was interest last summer. There'll be interest again at some point. Bologna fans leave emotional message to Lewis Ferguson ahead of knee surgery "That's just the way football goes. That's the nature of the game. "And let's say you never know what's going to happen in the future.' Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
