Rangers star Calvin Bassey 's impressive start to the
campaign has been rewarded with a first international call-up
by Nigeria.
The versatile defender - set to start against Sparta Prague on
Thursday night - has been selected for an upcoming World
Cup qualifying double header against the Central African
Republic.
He will join Ibrox team-mates Joe Aribo and Leon Balogun in
linking up with manager Gernot Rohr's Super Eagles squad
next week.
The 21-year-old, also eligible to play for England and Italy,
has enjoyed a more prominent role with the Premiership
champions this season.
And he's likely to fill in for Connor Goldson at centre-back
this evening after he was unable to make the trip to the
Czech Republic.

Rangers are abroad in search of a first win in their Europa
League group stage campaign, having been beaten by Lyon at
Ibrox on opening night.
Bassey could then make his international debut on October 7
in the first of two matches in the upcoming break.
