Glasgow Rangers defender Leon Balogun has set his sight on UEFA Champions League group stage qualification
Rangers will be taking on Dynamo Kyiv in the first leg of their third qualifying round at the Arena Lublin, Poland on Tuesday, August 6.
Balogun, 36, who has never featured in the UCL competition believes that qualifying for the group stage with the Scottish giants will be one of his greatest career achievements.
“We have spoken about finances and all these things before and obviously they play a big part for various reasons, but for me reaching the group stage is the biggest motivation,”
“I have never played in the Champions League, I have played in qualifiers before, for Rangers as well, it didn’t work out.
“At this stage of my career it would be one of my biggest achievements, that is my personal motivation and I’m sure every single player who came out here today has their own individual reasons to go to the group stages.
“I think everybody is very determined to put in a performance tomorrow. It has obviously been a quick turnaround, but it is a big occasion.
“I am not too fussed about it coming early in the season because I think if you want to play in the Champions League there is no greater motivation in football.”
