Balogun, Aribo stars in Rangers FC away win against Aberdeen

Leon Balogun and Joe Aribo started the first game of the Scottish 2020/2021 title for Rangers FC as the Gers edged out host, Aberdeen in a nervy 0-1 clash following Alfredo Morelos strike to claim all 3 points.

Leon who joined Steven Gerrard’s team last month from Championship side, Wigan was handed his first start and debut at the heart of the defense.

The Ibrox side know they can afford few slip-ups this term as they look to deny bitter rivalsĀ CelticĀ a record-breaking 10th straight league crown but the Light Blues held their nerve at Pittodrie to get off to a winning start.

Up next for the Nigerian duo is the Europa second leg away tie to Bayern Leverkusen before they welcome St. Mirren on the matchday two of the Scottish Premiership.
