Rangers handed major boost pre-Livingston as Super Eagles midfielder returns to training
Published: July 27, 2021 
Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that Scottish
Premiership champions Glasgow Rangers have been handed a major boost
ahead of their league opener against Livingston by the return to
training of Joe Aribo.
The Super Eagles midfielder
was not in the Light Blues' matchday squad for their last three
pre-season games against Arsenal, Brighton & Hove and Real Madrid
due to health issues.
Now, the former
Charlton Athletic man has put himself in contention to be involved in
some capacity against Livingston after resuming training on Monday, July
26.
There is speculation over the future of
Aribo at Rangers despite being contracted to the club until June 2023 as
he is attracting genuine interest from an unnamed English Premier
League club.
The 25-year-old was involved
in Rangers' first two pre-season fixtures with Partick Thistle and
Tranmere Rovers prior to his spell on the sidelines.
Rangers'
match versus Livingston would be his 92nd appearance for the Light
Blues if he is considered for selection by manager Steven Gerrard.
Super
Eagles center back Leon Balogun and left-back Calvin Bassey have no
injury worries for now, with the duo coming through the match against
Real Madrid unscathed.
