Nigerian defender Leon Balogun expresses sheer delight and gratitude at securing yet another glorious victory with Scottish Premiership powerhouse, Rangers. Balogun’s commanding presence on the pitch contributed to Rangers’ triumphant 1-0 win against Aberdeen at Hampden Park, propelling the club to claim their 28th Scottish League Cup title.
This marks the accomplished centre-back’s third accolade with the esteemed Gers, following his prior conquests with the Scottish Premiership title and the FA Cup during his inaugural tenure at the illustrious Ibrox Stadium.
In an exclusive interview with Rangers TV, Balogun conveyed his profound affection for the club, stating, “When I left the first time, for me, it is the most special time I had in my career and that will never change. It is a privilege for me to be here at this stage of my career and to be winning silverware again.”
He further extolled the fervent support from the Rangers’ fan base, emphasizing, “The fans are second to none, I have played in some big stadiums, but they are great. It is great to see the reaction from the fans. I am very happy and content.”
Anticipation now brews as Balogun sets his sights on the upcoming league clash against St Johnstone, as Rangers endeavor to maintain their formidable form.
