Rangers Legend Urges Balogun To Move On

Former Rangers midfielder Derek Ferguson believes that Nigerian defender Leon Balogun should leave the club despite his recent strong performances, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Balogun, who initially joined Rangers in 2020 before a stint with Queens Park Rangers in 2022, returned to Ibrox in 2023 and signed a contract extension last season.

However, injuries have plagued his current campaign, limiting his contributions on the pitch.

Ferguson, speaking to Ibrox News, insists that it’s time for the 36-year-old to move on.

“I think he’ll be off. He’s done terrifically well since coming back in, but he’s 36 and injury-prone. He’s a good player, but is he someone Rangers should be looking to tie down? No. He’s done well across two spells, but no, it’s time for Leon to look elsewhere,” Ferguson said.
