Massive weeding in Rangers

NPL runners-up Rangers International FC of Enugu are to release 19 players from last season’s squad ahead of the forthcoming campaign, officials have disclosed.

We heard that the  management has reached agreement with the coaches to place these players on transfer after they are “surplus to requirement”.

  

Among the affected players would be lanky forward Osita Henry, who joined Rangers from Wikki Tourists, goalkeeper Pius Ibrahim and Ajibade Omolade.

  

“From what I have so far gathered Osita, Pius and Ajibade are most likely to be asked to go based on their very little contribution to the team last season,” stated our source.

  

M ore players have continued to throng the office of the ‘Flying Antelopes’ for a possible deal.

  

The latest arrivals include former Olympic team goalkeeper Dele Ajiboye and Razaq Adegbite, who is seeking to return to the team after dumping them for Enyimba mid-way last season.

  

Former Enyimba goalkeeper trainer Suleiman Shaibu is also on the wanted list of Rangers as a possible replacement for former team manager Victor Oko.
