Super Eagles’ midfielder, Joe Aribo got an assist to his name in Rangers win over Aberdeen during their Scottish Premiership game on Saturday.
Rangers defeated Aberdeen 1-0 at Ibrox, thanks to goal from Kemar Roofe, who scored a later winner to keep their title hopes alive.
It appeared as though they would suffer a severe setback in their title defence, as Jim Goodwin’s Dons dug deeper and denied the Glasgow club few clean scoring chances.

The super sub – Roofe came on in 78th minute only to grab the winner three minutes later, leaving the home fans devastated.
The Giovanni van Bronckhorst side was completely locked out for a long time, but they eventually broke through with Kemar Roofe scoring the game’s lone goal in the final 10 minutes.
The victory mounts pressure on their city rivals, who will head to Livingston later today, a place they are yet to secure a win since 2007.
Two other Super Eagles players – Calvin Bassey, started the game for Rangers, while Leon Balogun came on as substitute in second-half.
Aberdeen made huge improvements from their game against Hearts last week, but the result maintains them in tenth position.
