Answer

After being accused of spitting at an opponent in a game against Scotland, Ferguson was stripped of the captaincy of Rangers and from national selection. This was the first time in 105 years that a Rangers player had been stripped of the captaincy. Ferguson was later cleared of the spitting charge, but he never regained the captaincy of either Rangers or Scotland.
