Super Eagles defender Leon Balogun returned
from injury to help Glasgow Rangers to hard fought 1- 0 win over
Hibernian, in Scottish premier league match.
Balogun was handed his return by manager Stephen
Gerrard after sitting out of the last match against St Johnstone
due to the injury.
Balogun played the entire minutes of the match and
was unlucky not to mark his return with a goal 15 minute into the
match.
The Nigerian international connected perfectly with a
pass from his international teammate Joe Aribo but the goalkeeper
was at alert to push the ball into safety.
Rangers struggled to break down the opponent for much
part of the game, but Ianis Hagi finally found the breakthrough in
the 33rd with an assist from Kemar Roofe.

in the Scottish premier league this season and they are yet to lose
from 20 matches played.
Another Nigerian international, Joseph Ayodele Aribo
also featured for the Scottish premier league leaders in the
game.
