Rangers Officially unveil Super Eagles Defender Leon Balogun

Super Eagles defender Leon Balogun has finally completed a big move to Scottish giants Rangers according to the latest development by the club on their website.

The 32-year-old recently left English club Wigan after their relegation to the third division in England thereby becoming a free agent.

Balogun also had a troubled time at Brighton where he was unable to command regular playing time which masterminded his exit.

Rangers are currently sweating over the injury of Nikola Katic who is facing months on the sidelines and Leon will now be a good replacement.
