STEPHEN GLASS has dismissed the possibility of Lewis Ferguson leaving for Serie A after he was linked with a move to Cagliari.
The Scotland international earned Aberdeen a point against Rangers on Tuesday night as he slotted home from the spot to cancel out a Ianis Hagi opener.
Reports earlier in the day touted Ferguson for a loan switch to the continent with a potential £3.5million fee at the end of the campaign.
Glass said: "If you’re referring to the Italian one, no, That might be the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. Zero.
"We’ll take one of your best players and give you nothing, maybe get something if we stay up… everyone would be at it if that worked!
"Nothing at all has come in for him. But on performances. Like that, people would love Lewis Ferguson in their team. We do.
"It would be brilliant if we could keep the group together We are in control of all of it.
"Some have a few months left, some have a few years We’re in control of every situation.
"It might get difficulty if silly money is involved. The club decides what they accept.
"We’re continually trying to get stronger. My first experience as a manager in the January window, I can see why people say it’s difficult.
"You don’t know what might go out the door but we’re ready for every eventuality."
Aberdeen were worthy of their point at Pittodrie as they held Rangers for the second time this term to dent their title challenge once again.
The Dons were bemused that referee Kevin Clancy failed to award a spot-kick when Ryan Hedges collided with Allan McGregor.
"I don’t even look for one any more," Glass said when asked if he received an explanation from the whistler. "The linesman said there wasn’t enough contact for a penalty and the ref said there was no contact.
"I think we got what we deserved with the penalty in the second half; I didn’t feel we were under a hell of a lot of pressure
"I think it was coming. We came out really on the front foot in the second half, so it was a matter or time.
"I had real belief and they showed real belief that they would come back and win it."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
