“An absolute trojan”- Rangers fans react to Bassey’s exit

The Super Eagles star made a name for himself at Ibrox last season, and the Rangers fans have respect for him despite his exit

Rangers fans have taken to social media to send goodwill messages to Calvin Bassey after his €23 million move to Ajax.

The versatile Super Eagles defender joined Rangers in 2020 for free after he was released by Leicester City. But Bassey struggled to get playing time in his first season, making 15 appearances in all competitions.

The Nigerian announced his name on the big stage with man of the match performances in the two finals he played in the Europa League and Scottish Cup.

Following his performances, Bassey was linked to some top European teams.

Nonetheless, Bassey chose to ioin Ajax. Following his transfer, Bassey wrote a heart-felt appreciation to Gers, and they also replicated the gesture, extolling the 22-year-old.
