“It is always good to be part of the international squad,” Aribo told Rangers TV moments after scoring his first-ever league goal for Steven Gerrard’s side.

The midfielder, however, revealed that he isn’t fond of travelling but for Nigeria, he would do anything saying: “Funny enough I didn’t really like travelling but it just got to be done. It comes with the game.”
