Leon Balogun believes the absence of Erling Haaland is a major boost for Glasgow Rangers as they look to finish the job against Borussia Dortmund and progress in the Europa League.
Megasportsarena.com reports that Haaland missed last Thursday’s match in Germany as Rangers claimed a shock 4-2 victory at the Westfalenstadion.
The striker has not travelled to Glasgow for the second leg as he continues to recover from injury.
The Nigerian international is back available after returning to training and knows the loss of Haaland is a blow for Dortmund ahead of tonight’s clash.
Joe Aribo and Calvin Bassey are the other Nigeria players available for the encounter at Ibrox.
“I think in this competition you want to compete against the best and he is one of the best at the moment,” Balogun told the media.
“So from that perspective, it is a sad thing. But if you look at what he means to Dortmund then surely it is a disadvantage to them, it is going to weaken them a little bit.
“But mixed feelings. Definitely not going to complain about it though.”
