The 33-year-old Super Eagle was named man of the match after his defensive display helped the Gers to their derby win on Sunday
Rangers assistant manager Gary McAllister has praised the performance of defender Leon Balogun after they secured a 1-0 win against rivals Celtic in the Old Firm Derby at Ibrox Stadium on Sunday.
With Rangers missing a number of players owing to Covid-19 protocols, the 33-year-old Nigeria defender was moved from his regular centre-back position to right-back as back-up for Nathan Patterson, who was isolating, and the player did not disappoint.
Balogun was particularly impressive as he shut out the new Celtic signing Kyogo Furuhashi and helped his team to pick maximum points courtesy of Filip Helander’s powerful header in the 66th minute giving the champions a memorable victory in front of their 49,402 fans.
