Rangers hero confident Balogun's signing brilliant

Posted : 14 July 2023
Barry Ferguson, a Rangers hero, believes that the acquisition of Leon Balogun by the club will prove to be a valuable addition to the squad. 

Balogun, who previously played for Rangers between 2020 and 2022, has returned for a second stint after signing a one-year deal with the club.

The decision to sign Balogun was influenced by the injury sustained by young center-back Leon King during the club's pre-season camp, leaving Rangers in need of an experienced player to fill the void. 

Ferguson praised the club's swift action in bringing in Balogun, highlighting his experience, defensive abilities, and physical presence. 

While not expected to be the first-choice center-back, Balogun's role as a backup is seen as vital by Ferguson.

Ferguson emphasized the importance of having sufficient defensive options and avoiding the same problems as last year, where young players like Leon King and James Sands were relied upon due to injuries and suspensions. 

With Balogun's arrival, Rangers now have five center-backs including Connor Goldson, Ben Davies, John Souttar, and Dujon Sterling, providing valuable depth in case of further injuries or suspensions.

Manager Michael Beale also values Balogun's experience and hopes he can contribute to the squad. However, given his age and the presence of younger and more energetic defenders in the team, Balogun may face a challenge in securing regular playing time.

Overall, the signing of Balogun is seen as a wise move by Rangers, providing necessary depth and experience to the squad, which can be crucial in their pursuit of success in the upcoming season.
