Rangers defeated bitter rivals Celtic 1-0 at the Ibro Stadium on Saturday (Jan 2) to extend their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership table to 19 points.
Leon Balogun, who was in the action for the duration of the game spoke to the media after the match. The Nigerian defender stated that it was a massive result and reiterated that his side won’t let the win get to their heads.
“It’s huge for us but then at the same time, there’s nothing for us to get carried away with. This season is still long – although this was a big and important step for us to make.” Balogun said after yesterday’s game.
“Complacency is a killer. We were maybe complacent in the first half and we all saw how that could hurt us.
“We worked ourselves into a place where we deserved to get some luck but I don’t think that’s anything we should rely on,” he added.
Rangers are on course to win their first league title since the 2010-11 season. They currently lead Celtic by a whopping 19 points having played 22 games, three more than The Hoops.
