Rangers defender Emmanuel Fernandez has revealed that playing in Nigeria for the first time will be one of the highlights of his career.
The Ibrox stopper has won plaudits for helping Rangers to back-to-back wins against Celtic and keeping two clean sheets too.
He is set to win his fourth cap for Nigeria tonight in their African Cup of Nations qualifier against Madagascar in Uyo.
It will be the first time he's actually played in his homeland, as the three previous caps he won for the Super Eagles were friendly matches in Turkey and in London.
And he admits it will be a proud moment for him.
He said: "It's another challenge for me and I can't wait for it.
"Playing in Nigeria for my country is something I have always wanted and I have waited for it my whole career, so I will be very proud.
