Joe Aribo admits Rangers exit tradeoff he was forced to make as he reveals 'very good decision'

Southampton midfielder Joe Aribo has insisted he made the right call to leave Rangers as he revisited his decision to swap the Champions League for the Premier League.

The 26-year-old made the switch to St Mary's last summer with his Ibrox deal heading into the final 12 month, having been a key figure at Ibrox following his move north of the border in 2019. He made his mark under Steven Gerrard and Gio van Bronckhorst with his performances domestically, and was vital for the Dutchman on route to the Europa League final where Aribo netted in Seville.

However, he traded his shot at European football for a move to Ralph Hasenhüttl's side south of the border. Nigerian international Aribo has watched as Rangers navigated the Champions League playoff rounds, but the Scottish Premiership side endured heavy defeats to Liverpool, Ajax and Napoli on route to the worst ever group stage performance.
