Defender Leon Balogun delighted with his new Rangers nickname after impressing on derby day.
The Nigerian international was shifted out to right-back against Celtic with both James Tavernier and Nathan Patterson absent from the squad.
Despite the unfamiliar position, Balogun played a key role in stifling the visiting attack and key man Kyogo Furuhashi.
Following the man of the match performance, Balogun was all smiles when he was informed the Ibrox diehards had taken to calling him 'Leon Ballon d'Or'.
He admitted he has some other nicknames in the past, but was delighted to get a rebrand in Scotland.
When asked post-match if he had heard what the fans had been calling after his performance and told the nickname, he laughed: “That’s a new one.
“I think after we scored and I released the noise just wouldn’t stop, I got goosebumps running into my half.
“It’s amazing for me personally, I love that though (the nickname). I’ve had Cafu before and Lucio before, but that one is a nice one.
“For me it was a first time to meet the supporters during an Old Firm, and I would say it feels like I’m addicted”
