Super Eagles defender, Leon Balogun, expressed his joy following Rangers’ emphatic 4-0 win over Aberdeen at Ibrox in the Scotish Premier League, on Sunday, a result that snapped the team’s disappointing home form.
The Light Blues delivered a dominant second-half performance to end their seven-game winless streak at home.
Goals from Vaclav Cerny, Cyriel Dessers, Hamza Igamane, and Jefte sealed the convincing victory after a goalless first half.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Balogun described the result as a major relief for the squad.
“It has been seven games without a win at Ibrox, and it was not something to be proud of, that is why it is good to take that monkey off our back,” he said.
Reflecting on the overall display, the Nigerian defender acknowledged the team’s control but noted the push from their manager during the break.
“I think overall it was quite comfortable from start to finish but there was still more in the tank and that is what the gaffer told us at half-time.
“He wanted us to empty the tank and make sure we gave that 10/15 per cent more going forward.”
With his contract set to expire, Balogun is widely expected to depart the Scottish Premiership side at the close of the season.
