Lee Bowyer didn't hold back when Joe Aribo decided to leave his then English League One side Charlton for a move to Rangers - but has finally climbed down from his Scottish Premiership blast.
Aribo decided to make the move to Ibrox back in 2019 rather than stick it out in the English lower leagues at The Valley or opt for a potential English Championship suitor. Bowyer insisted a move to Rangers would be the equivalent of retirement - claiming that only players coming to the end of their careers moved north of the border. However, Aribo would go on to flourish during his time at Ibrox.
The playmaker lifted the Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup, as well as scoring in a Europa League final and becoming a key player for Nigeria before securing his big move to Southampton. Following the switch the English Premier League Bowyer has finally admitted he got it wrong over the move north of the border.
