Ally McCoist makes Rangers Leon Balogun transfer claim insisting Ibrox club miss defender

Ally McCoist makes Rangers Leon Balogun transfer claim insisting Ibrox club miss defender

ALLY MCCOIST believes Rangers missed defender Leon Balogun during their Champions League play-off against PSV.

The former Ibrox centre back was released this summer and is still without a club.

McCoist feels Balogun should have been offered an extension in Govan and he has called on the club to offer a deal if there is still a chance that he will remain in Scotland.

He told BT Sport: “He was sitting up in the stand watching Rangers. I'm not sure I'd have been letting him go.

"Souttar and Helander have had injuries...

"It's not with hindsight. I was surprised to see him go I really was.

“They could have done with him tonight. He has the height, he has a presence.

“He has scored goals in Europe.”
