There’s still an astounding ignorance/arrogance that comes from English football fans when it comes to the passion and exposure our game gets, especially when it comes to the big two in Glasgow.

A few months later and he’s playing in the knockout stages in the Europa League and shining at international level. Of course that’s not as good for his career as struggling for relevancy at a mid table Championship team, but it looks like things are turning out okay for Aribo.

He takes two brilliant touches before sticking it away emphatically, it’s a brilliantly taken goal. Nigeria went on to draw the game which is a cracking result.

I’m sure Bowyer will find some issue with it….
