Leon Balogun reacts as Djeidi Gassama scores on Rangers debut

Rangers new boy Djeidi Gassama announced himself to the Ibrox crowd in style by scoring against Panathinaikos in a Champions League qualifier on Tuesday.

Russell Martin’s men were unable to break down the Greek outfit in the opening 45 minutes, and went into the half-time break at 0-0.

But second-half goals from academy graduate Findlay Curtis and former Sheffield Wednesday man Gassama ensured that the Gers enjoyed a 2-0 win on 22 July.

Rangers face a pre-season friendly with Middlesbrough on Saturday, 26 July, four days before their away leg in Greece.
