Calvin Bassey solves Nigeria plane puzzle as Rangers star tees up Joe Aribo for safe exit

Quick-thinking Calvin Bassey showed the way to his Nigeria team-mates during a risky exit from their plane after touching down in Ghana.

The Super Eagles were met with a treacherous exit upon arrival as players with a four feet leap from the airbus down to the attached steps.

A host of Nigeria players decided to hop off while reaching for the railing, however, Bassey applied a dose of common by simply sitting down before departing.

He impressed those exiting behind him, which included Joe Aribo who followed his Rangers team-mate's method.

It was all smiles from the versatile Rangers defender but he will be all business ahead of a winner takes all double header against the Black Stars in the coming days.

The first leg takes place in Accra on Friday before the return leg on home turf on Tuesday evening.

Bassey and Aribo will the return to Scotland ahead of Rangers' mouthwatering title showdown with Celtic at Ibrox on April 3.

Gio van Bronckhorst will hope the pair come back in peak condition after talismanic striker Alfredo Morelos suffering from a "muscle overload" on international duty with Colombia.
