SPL: Nigerian stars Aribo, Bassey feature in Team of the Season

Super Eagles players, Joe Aribo and Calvin Bassey, have made the 2021/22 Scottish Premier League team of the season.

The Glasgow Rangers stars were named for their outstanding performances for the club last season.

Bassey was named at left-back while Aribo featured among the three midfielders listed in the squad.

The 22-year-old, who was named Rangers’ Young Player of the Season, completes the defense line with club captain James Tavernier at right-back.

Cameron Carter-Vickers from Celtic, and Heart of Midlothian’s Stephen Kingsley were the rest of the defenders on the team.

Aribo also had a fine season scoring in the Rangers’ Europa League final defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt last month.

The duo are currently on international duty featuring in Nigeria’s 2-1 over Sierra Leone in Thursday’s 2023 AFCON in Abuja.
