Leon Balogun in Rangers visit as departed star makes Ibrox love clear

Leon Balogun in Rangers visit as departed star makes Ibrox love clear

LEON BALOGUN made his love for Rangers clear last night by cheering on his former side against Union Saint-Gilloise.

The Nigeria defender was in the stands at Ibrox as Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men overturned a 2-0 deficit to progress from the Champions League qualifier tie 3-2 on aggregate.

Goals from James Tavernier, Antonio Colak and Malik Tillman secured the 3-0 victory on the night.

Come full-time, the stadium was rocking as the Rangers faithful turned up the noise on another famous European night for the club.

Balogun is certainly no stranger to experiencing that atmosphere, having played in some of last year's games in the Europa League against the likes of RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund.

No longer a Rangers player though, Balogun took to the stands to see last night's match as a supporter.

Posting on his Instagram story, the 34-year-old showed videos of the crowd's latest rendition of 'I'm Feeling It' at full-time.

The players could be seen acknowledging the fans in the clips, while Balogun then zoomed in and out of the scoreboard which confirmed the huge win for the Gers.
