Rangers manager, Michael Beale has expressed his delight after reuniting with Leon Balogun again.
Balogun returned to the Ibrox on Wednesday just a year after he was released by the Gers.
The 35-year-old penned a one-year contract.
Beale was Steven Gerrard’s assistant during Balogun’s previous two-year stint at Rangers.
The duo also worked together at Sky Bet Championship club, Queens Park Rangers last season.
“Leon is a person that I have full trust in both as a footballer and a man,” Beale told the club’s official website.
“He is extremely well-liked by everyone inside the club, and we are very happy to have someone with his experience and leadership qualities re-joining our squad. Naturally he will integrate back into the club very quickly and he understands fully our way of working and style of play.
“As a free agent, we were able to move quickly so that he could join us here in Germany. It was really nice to see the reception he received from the players and staff on joining us here at the camp.”
PROMPT NEWS reports that Balogun won the Scottish Premiership title and Scottish Cup during his previous spell with the Gers.
