Scotland international Lewis Ferguson has been presented with the Bulgarelli Number 8 Award, given to the best midfielder in Serie A for the season.

The Bologna captain had enjoyed a stellar season as his side hunt down a Champions League spot, before he suffered a campaign-ending knee injury in April.

Prior to the blow, Ferguson was one of the top performers in the Italian top-flight, scoring six times and registering four assists in 31 league appearances.

Previous winners of the award include Daniele De Rossi, Nicolo Barella and Sandro Tonali.

The 24-year-old will miss this summer's Euros in Germany having undergone surgery.
