'I'm Hoping To Have Aribo Back' - Gerrard Hoping For Rangers Selection Dilemma

Published: August 30, 2020

Glasgow Rangers are first in the provisional Scottish Premiership standings after beating Hamilton Academical 2-0 at Fountain of Youth Stadium on Saturday courtesy of first half goals from Hagi and James Tavernier.

In doing so, the Light Blues broke a club record by making it six consecutive clean sheets since the start of the 2020-2021 season.

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has admitted that he could now be faced with a selection dilemma after the international break with three players including Joe Aribo and Leon Balogun expected to return to full fitness.

While the game against Hamilton Academical came too soon for the midfielder, the central defender wasn't risked as he remained rooted to the bench.

"I am hoping to have a real selection dilemma when we come back to play Dundee United as I am hoping to have Joe Aribo back, Jermain Defoe and Leon [Balogun] was back in the squad today," Gerrard told Rangers TV post-match.

"So that is how we need to be as a squad - it needs to be very difficult to pick 11 and it is at the moment."

Aribo and Balogun started the first three matches played by Rangers in the new season but have not figured in the last three.
