Leon Balogun shines in Rangers' Scottish Cup victory, manager hails impact

Rangers manager Philippe Clement has hailed Leon Balogun's impressive display in the team's 2-0 victory over Heart in the Scottish Cup semi-final.

Balogun, who was making his first start since February partnered with John Souttar in central defense in what was a solid defensive display for the Gers.

Clement in a post-match reaction praised Balogun's outstanding performance for the team.

"I think he [Leon Balogun] was massive today; he played a really good game in the coaching and in the duels with his hunger and desire," Clement told Rangers TV.

"I know I have four really good centre-backs, and this season they have all played. That is a thing for the next couple of weeks as a team performance and all going forward together in this chase for the title."

Glasgow Rangers will take on Celtic in the finals at HamPen Park on Saturday, May 28.
