Balogun linked up with the Gers in July 2020 under former boss Steve Gerrard and was part of the team that won the Premiership title last term.

Though, the Gers have lost the title to rivals Celtic this season, they are through to the final of the Scottish Cup and UEFA Europa League.

Current Rangers Boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst has received huge plaudits for the team’s impressive showing.

Balogun insists there are a lot of differences between the Aston Villa boss and van Bronckhorst.

“Steven was a bit more emotional. Gio is more introspective. He gives us confidence in a different way. He encourages us to trust in his plan but also in our abilities,” Balogun stated.

“He gives the many tactical tricks and subtleties that improve you.

“Little things that make a big difference in the end, for example in the area of passing accuracy and positional play.

“This helps the team to implement its plan in the best possible way.

“Everyone here has the drive to want to bring every game home.”
