Gerrard Heaps Praises On Balogun

By Sampson Adedeji

Head coach of the Scottish premier league side Glasgow Rangers, Steven Gerrard has heaped praises on Nigeria's Super Eagles defender Leon Balogun following his outstanding performance in the match day one of the league, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Balogun joined the Rangers last Monday from the English premier league side Brighton Hove Albion after his 2 year deal ended.

He was the star player on Saturday as Ger secured a 0-1 away win over Aberdeen at Pittoride courtesy Ryan Kent lone stike.

" He’s been in the door six days, this is probably one of the toughest away games on your debut. You’re only getting used to knowing the players.

“But we’d seen and what we’d seen prior, we had trust in him. But he went out and put out a performance. He deserves all the plaudits that come his way. I thought he was outstanding," he said.

Aberdeen struggled to ask many questions of the Rangers backline. But the early signs hint that Balogun has the potential to be an inspired signing for the Gers this season.
