Leon Balogun absent as Joe Aribo’s Rangers unbeaten run ends

It was a bad week for Rangers after they suffered two back to back losses in the space of five days. After losing away to Malmo FF in the Champions League qualifiers midweek, the Gers suffered another defeat at Dundee United in the Scottish Premier League.

Aribo was absent in the mid-week loss, but the Nigerian midfielder played every single minute in the defeat to Dundee United.

The midweek loss wouldn’t have mattered much, but the loss to Dundee United holds more significance as it effectively puts an end to a 41 League games unbeaten run.

Rangers, who are aiming to defend their League title, started the campaign in stunning fashion with a 3-0 win against Livingston. But this week, a 64th-minute goal from Jamie Robson was enough to end the streak of the Gers.

Leon Balogun was not included in the match-day squad, and Nnamdi Ofoborh is recovering from a heart problem.
