Rangers are in buoyant mood following Kenneth Igboke’s maiden invitation to the Super Eagles.
Igboke was added to the Super Eagles squad for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic by head coach Finidi George on Tuesday.
The left-back will take the place of Victor Osimhen, who has been ruled out of the games due to injury.

“Best of luck, Igboke,” wrote the Flying Antelopes.
