Nigeria’s Super Eagles’ duo, Joe Aribo and Calvin Bassey have been included in the official Team of the Season by the Scottish Premiership.
Aribo and Bassey were recognised for their impressive displays for the Gers during the 2021/22 season.
Midfielder Aribo, who linked up with Rangers from Charton Athletic in 2019 earned huge plaudits for his versatility.
The 25-year-old put in strong performances as a box-to-box midfielder, right winger, and false nine.
The Nigeria international scored in Rangers’ Europa League final defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt last month.
His compatriot, Bassey also make big impact during the season.
Bassey was moved into the centre-back position by manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst after the Dutchman replaced Steven Gerrard and he adapted comfortably.
The 22-year-old also claimed the club’s Young Player of the Season prize.
The duo are in Nigeria’s squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Sierra Leone and Sao Tome and Principe.
Captain James Tavernier is the other Rangers player who made the shortlist.
Rangers lost the league title to rivals Celtic, but won the Scottish Cup.
They also lost on penalties to Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt in the final of the UEFA League.
