Attacker Abdallah Sima has been praised by Rangers player Leon Balogun.
Because of his excellent performance in the 1-0 Scottish Premiership victory over Hearts, the Nigerian international center-back has been receiving some recognition of his own.
Philippe Clement has called up the 35-year-old defender to the Rangers squad, and he appears to be the Belgian manager’s first choice in addition to Connor Goldson.
However, it was Brighton loanee Abdullah Sima who would make headlines at Tynecastle, scoring the game’s lone goal after latching onto a James Tavernier through pass.
In a joint interview with Sky Sports following the match, Leon Balogun and Abdallah Sima praised the experienced center-back in glowing terms.
Abdallah Sima receives high appreciation from Leon Balogun
Abdallah Sima, who has scored 12 goals for the Rangers this season, has been receiving a lot of attention from Leon Balogun due to his recent play.
The striker is back among the goals after going eight games without one after the birth of his daughter, and the Rangers team has definitely taken a shine to him.
Leon Balogun lavishes praise on the assailant, saying that Abdallah Sima “deserves” all of the accolades bestowed upon him.
Leon Balogun remarked, “I am glad that Abdallah (Sima) blessed us with another one.”
It’s reasonable to assume that at first he had to get his bearings this week and this season.
“But since then, he’s had some sleepless nights, so I won’t say he’s been strolling. He also had the blessing of a small child.
“He’s performing incredibly well for us, so yes, he deserves all the recognition and deserves the praise.” He is putting in a lot of work.
Rangers striker is happy to score once more.
Following Rangers’ Scottish Premiership victory against Hearts, Abdallah Sima also spoke with Sky Sports.
Rangers kept up the pressure on Celtic at the top of the league with this potentially crucial win, effectively widening the gap at five points if the Ibrox team wins their last match.
After receiving accolades from Leon Balogun, Abdallah Sima has emerged as the Ibrox squad’s most dangerous goal threat. The Rangers star says he’s just pleased to be supporting the team.
“Scoring goals and supporting the team is really important to me,” Sima stated.
“I think winning this game is what matters most to us, so I’m thrilled to score once more and support the team.
It’s crucial that I play games now so I can get to know every participant. We were working on that in training since I know that Tav gives to me every time I ran.
That was something we were practicing in training since it comes naturally to us.
Following Rangers’ victory over Hearts, manager Philippe Clement talked about the forward, Abdallah Sima, who is still making an impression.
This comes after the Belgian coach made a suggestion that the Gers want to extend the £7 million loan for the Premier League attacker.
