Rangers legend Barry Ferguson has expressed his endorsement of the club’s choice to bring back Leon Balogun. Balogun, who was released by the club just a year ago, rejoined the Gers this week. The decision to re-sign him was prompted by a significant injury to young centre-back Leon King, leading the Scottish Premiership club to seek additional defensive options.
Ferguson, sharing his delight at Balogun’s return to Ibrox, emphasized the player’s experience, defensive prowess, and physical presence. While not expected to feature in every game, Balogun is regarded by Ferguson as an excellent backup option. The 35-year-old previously spent two successful years at Rangers, contributing to their Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup victories.
