A Glasgow Rangers podcaster has given their reaction as some more early team news has now emerged ahead of their Europa League match tonight.
The Lowdown: Balogun in, Ramsey out
Speaking in the pre-game press conference ahead of the clash against Borussia Dortmund, Gers defender Leon Balogun revealed that he is back fit and available to play, having not featured since the 2-0 win at home to Hibernian in the Premiership earlier this month.
Should Rangers start Balogun?
Yes
No
However, Giovanni van Bronckhorst has confirmed that Aaron Ramsey will not be in the squad, as the Welshman continues to battle a minor injury.
The Latest: Podcaster reacts
Taking to Twitter, Rangers podcast Heart & Hand, an official media partner of the club, have now given their reaction to the news of Balogun’s return, claiming that it is ‘massive’.
Reacting to a summary of pre-match team news, they tweeted: “Balogun back is massive though.”
The Verdict: Big boost
Indeed, having Balogun back, especially given that Filip Helander is not registered in the European squad, is a big boost for Rangers.
The Nigeria defender played in their first four matches of the group stage and even managed to bag a goal against Brondby, before missing the last two group games through injury (Transfermarkt).
He is currently ranked as the Light Blues’ second-best player in the Europa League so far this season and has averaged more tackles and blocks than any of his team-mates in the competition (WhoScored), showing that he will likely be a key player if they are to progress tonight.
