Leon Balogun leaves Rangers as two exit Ibrox amid Gio van Bronckhorst rebuild

Defender Leon Balogun has left Rangers after his Ibrox contract expired this summer.

The 33-year-old leaves the club after two years in the Scottish Premiership, where he helped the club lift the title in his debut campaign and the Scottish Cup last term.

The Nigeria international has been used sparingly by Gio van Bronckhorst since he took over from Steven Gerrard following the emergence of Calvin Bassey.

The defender also netted twice in the Europa League last term as he helped steer the side to Seville.

Back-up goalkeeper Andy Firth is also leaving Rangers this month.

Firth joined Rangers in January 2019 and went on to sign a contract extension with the club in 2021.

He spent time on loan at Partick Thistle last term in the Championship.
