Enyimba Vows To Win Rangers
Enyimba coach, Gbenga Ogunbote, has not hidden his desire to lead the Peoples Elephant to a victory in their Matchday 37 fixture of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) at outgoing champions Rangers International this Sunday.
The Peoples Elephant are in the hunt for a top-three finish as they sit in fourth spot behind leaders Plateau United, MFM FC and Akwa United, and Ogunbote realises how important it will be for his men to grind out the full points at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium where they have managed just two wins in their last 13 travels.
However Ogunbote knows that the Flying Antelopes can be tough as nails in the Oriental Derby having secured their status in the top division for another season.
The former Shooting Stars and Sunshine Stars coach hopes that Rangers would take their feet off the pedals when his team faces them after the Enugu club claimed their first win of the season on the road at already relegated Remo Stars.
At the same time, Ogunbote knows that his comments are just wishful thinking as he branded the Flying Antelopes as no pushovers despite an underwhelming campaign.
“My desire is to win there (at Rangers),” Ogunbote began.
