'Tricky feet' - Glasgow Rangers midfielder praises Joe Aribo ahead of UEL clash vs Brondby

Published: November 03, 2021

Glasgow Rangers midfielder Scott Arfield lauded Joe Aribo during Wednesday morning's pre-match press conference ahead of the Europa League meeting with Brondby.

Sunday's statement win over Motherwell was a great performance by the Light Blues especially on the right side of the pitch where Arfield, James Tavernier and Aribo operated, and the trio also had loads of success when they played together last season.

Arfield has highlighted why himself, Aribo and Tavernier have been able to work really well as a unit.

The Nigeria international is equally proficient as a central midfielder, attacking midfielder and a winger, and has proven to be a handful to defenders with his trickery.

"Definitely I think we know each other kind of well I think," Arfield told Rangers TV.

"Tavernier getting up, plays like a winger so you kind of know that the balance has to be good when he goes forward.

"Myself I like to get forward and Joe Aribo does what Joe Aribo does with his tricky feet and gets into situations where he scares defenders."

After enjoying success in his final season at Charlton Athletic, Aribo is now fine-tuning his skills at Rangers ahead of a potential move to the Premier League in the near future.
