Ex-Rangers star admits delight at reunion with former Ibrox teammate

Connor Goldson admits he's delighted to link up again with his former central defensive partner at Rangers after Leon Balogun joined him in Cyprus.

The pair will be reunited at Aris Limassol for the new season after the 36-year-old Nigerian international joined Goldson, 32, on the Mediterranean island.

They played together in both of Rangers' recent cup triumphs - in the 2022 Scottish Cup win over Hearts and the League Cup victory against Aberdeen a year later.

And Goldson believes the arrival of Balogun can help them go one better than last season where Aris finished runners-up to Pafos FC in the Cypriot League.

He said: "Leon's arrival is great for me and the club. He is a good, experienced defender.

"We needed a new defender and he will fit in really well to Aris.

"He has lots of experience and he is a leader and he will do really well I'm sure. I am sure he will help us both in the league and in Europe.

"Last season, we broke our record for the most points we have ever collected, but it still wasn't enough to win the title."This season I want to go one better.

"I really like it here. The football is really good and my family love it on the island."
