Stan Collymore is a Celtic man, but the former striker has still shared his delight for Rangers defender Leon Balogun on Twitter.

Rangers have won the Scottish Premiership title this season, ending their bitter Old Firm rivals Celtic’s hopes of making it 10 in a row.

Steven Gerrard’s side are still unbeaten in the league, and there is no doubt that the Gers have been the best team in Scotland this season.

Celtic have been in turmoil this season, with Neil Lennon having stepped down as the manager last month and the Hoops on the hunt for his permanent successor at the moment.

Ryan Christie has said that he and his Celtic teammates are determined to reclaim the title next season, but for now, Rangers can revel and rejoice in their success.

Former Liverpool and Aston Villa striker Collymore, who now works as a pundit and has a regular column in The Mirror, has said on Twitter that he is delighted for Balogun and has praised the 32-year-old defender.

According to WhoScored, Balogun has made 14 starts and four substitute appearances in the Scottish Premiership for Rangers so far this season, providing one assist in the process.

The defender has also made six starts and one substitute appearance in the Europa League for the Gers this campaign, according to WhoScored.
