Squad17 May 2032

Words exchanged at Rangers International

Hilary Gong and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings17 May 2032

Samuel Akpan beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 21. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Player ratings17 May 2032

Ganiyu Gberefu was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.25. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

The dugout17 May 2032

No hiding place for Sodiq Rasheed

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Sodiq Rasheed, and the manager let it.

Match17 May 2032

Halfway: Rangers International sit in position 12

24 points at the turn. The first half of a season is a promise; the second is a bill, and the town is about to find out which of the two this one was.

Match15 May 2032

Ifeanyi Assurance rescues a point for Rangers International

It needed Ifeanyi Assurance to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against Rivers United, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Godwin Asiriuwa gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Godwin Asiriuwa is on it.

The dugout17 May 2032

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Abraham Onyekuru chose the glass-half-full version of 2‑2; the supporters left with the other one.

The dugout17 May 2032

Peter Ogunjobi is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Market5 Jan 2032

Rangers International say no — this time

The offer from Plateau United for Issa Yusuf was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad5 Jan 2032

Emmanuel Jesam is named among the best

There are footballers who have a good season and footballers a season is remembered for, and the second kind get their names read out in a hall in the summer. Rangers International will be quietly delighted and privately nervous.

Market5 Jan 2032

Ndidi Musa hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Rangers International can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom5 Jan 2032

Abraham Onyekuru signs on for the long haul

Rangers International moved before anybody else could: a new deal for Abraham Onyekuru, agreed quietly and announced loudly. Boards extend managers for many reasons; the good one is the one this looks like.

Transfer targets5 Jan 2032

The paperwork begins on Awal Auta

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Rangers International have done the hard part with Nasarawa United, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Match3 Jan 2032

7 unbeaten for Rangers International

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 7 matches without defeat is a foundation Rangers International did not have in the autumn.

Hilary Gong and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Boardroom5 Jan 2032

6 academy players handed senior numbers at Rangers International

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Transfer targets5 Jan 2032

Bendel Insurance tell Rangers International: Uche Collins is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.
