While with St Johnstone, he was selected for a Scottish Football Association tour of North America in the summer of 1935; none of the matches was considered a full international.[3][4][5] He had earlier represented his country at Junior level while with Lochee Harp.[6]
His spell at Hibs[7] was a short end-of-season loan to aid the team in their fight against relegation in 1935–36, which was successful. He then signed for their Edinburgh derby rivals Hearts, where a first campaign establishing himself was followed by a goal in the first round of the 1937–38 season;[8] he also scored in the club's next fixture against Hibs in the Wilson Cup, but then suffered a badly broken leg in the last minute of the match.[9] Ferguson never played for Hearts again due to the injury, signing for Rochdale in 1939 after a short trial with Falkirk, but he only made one Football League appearance prior to the outbreak of World War II, with the matches played declared void.[10]
