Ferguson’s mother, Lady Cathy Ferguson, passed away earlier this month. The Posh boss took charge of the 2-0 League One home win over Lincoln City the following day before taking some time away from the club.

"It’s been a tough time,” Ferguson admitted. “But the support I’ve received from everyone at the club from the chairman down is something I will never forget.

"The fans were superb during the Lincoln game and I won’t forget that either.”

Ferguson took a step back from media duties in the last fortnight, but conducted a pre-match press conference on Thursday.
