There has been the suggestion that Roma could cancel Ferguson\u2019s loan<\/a> during the January transfer window and send him back to his parent club, Brighton and Hove Albion.<\/p>\n But then, Ferguson decided to rock up to Celtic Park<\/a>, amid his struggles in the league for Roma, and score two goals against the champions of Scotland<\/a> to help his side to a 3-0 win. <\/p>\n Would you take Evan Ferguson at Celtic in January? <\/p>\n \ud83d\udc47 Join the debate; share your insight. Use the comment button on the bottom left to have your say <\/p>\n Ferguson played just over an hour<\/a> and caused Celtic all sorts of problems, including his fellow countryman, Liam Scales.<\/p>\n It was an evening to forget for Scales because, after putting the ball into his own net for Roma\u2019s opening goal, he got completely outdone for Ferguson\u2019s second of the night. <\/p>\n After the ball was fired at the Republic of Ireland striker\u2019s feet, he took a brilliant first touch away from the Celtic defender and fired the ball past Kasper Schmeichel in emphatic fashion. <\/p>\n The Celtic supporters noted that, with some suggesting that it\u2019s the Hoops that made him look better than he already is. <\/p>\n You now wonder what will happen to Ferguson in January<\/a>, because Celtic might have just provided him with a helping hand here.<\/p>\n @Stevedubwin with a sarcastic response: \u2018Surely that\u2019s not the same Evan Ferguson that we were once constantly linked with\u2026\u2019<\/p>\n Surely that\u2019s not the same Evan Ferguson that we were once constantly linked with\u2026<\/p>\n \u2014 Tony Hadley CSC (@Stevedubwin) December 11, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n View Tweet<\/p>\n Celtic are always there with the helping hand, as @pabs_cfc: We have revived Evan Ferguson\u2019s career tonight \ud83d\ude02\u2019<\/p>\n we have revived evan ferguson\u2019s career tonight \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n \u2014 bap \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf8 (@pabs_cfc) December 11, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n View Tweet<\/p>\n @Daeyewanaknow isn\u2019t happy with the boyhood Celtic fan: \u2018Evan Ferguson, you\u2019re never a Celtic fan.
