Leon Balogun to Rangers transfer theory floated as QPR fans push panic button after Livingston absence

Queens Park Rangers fans have growing concerns that centre-back Leon Balogun could join Michael Beale and return to Rangers in January.

Balogun was an ever-present in the Ibrox defence under both Steven Gerrard and Gio van Bronckhorst, but injuries meant the Nigeria international lost his starting spot and he was on the bench for the Europa League final in Seville. The the summer additions of John Souttar and Ben Davies, as well as Connor Goldson extending his stay in the Scottish Premiership, the Dutchman opted to let the 34-year-old leave Rangers.

Following the defensive shake up, Beale handed the versatile defender a career lifeline by taking him to Loftus Road where he became a regular starter in the English Championship. He made 12 appearance at the back for Beale as he kickstarted his managerial career, but with Gerrard's former assistant back at Ibrox R's fans are fearing the worst over their star's future.
