Out-of-contract Rangers ace Leon Balogun responds to Ibrox future poser

Leon Balogun has insisted he is "definitely" capable of going again for Rangers next season.

The Ibrox centre-back, 36, is out of contract in the summer having penned a one-year deal last summer.

However, Balogun has vowed he is ready to go for another year in Govan if a new deal is agreed as he admitted his dream to "add a bit more success" to his time at Rangers. 

Asked whether he has it in him to go again next season on Sky Sports, Balogun said: "Definitely. I feel good.

"The managers have always been quite helpful and supportive in managing me even though I don't think I give them too much to manage when it comes to training and load.

"If I can play at a great club like this and add a bit more success, then I have absolutely nothing against it."

Last month, Balogun insisted he has not given up on a recall to the Nigeria national team as he clarified he has not retired from international football.

He said: "Representing Nigeria is a huge honour for me always and I would like to think that people always saw that in my performances like I don’t come here to joke. I'm up for it.

"Just recently I clarified that I never retired because I know that was a thing people were thinking, so I am still up for selection.”
