Rangers were connected with a number of centre backs this summer,

but few anticipated Leon Balogun to be the one to come in.

The Nigerian returned to Ibrox for a reunion with Michael Beale, providing an experienced alternative at the back.

However, the move came as a disappointment, especially given speculations of a deal for Auston Trusty.

Trusty had excelled on loan at Birmingham City, and Arsenal appeared poised to cash in.

Rangers were rumored to be interested in a £2 million move,

but he ended up signing a £5 million deal with Sheffield United instead. Auston Trusty’s season gets progressively worse.
Less than a year later, we may excuse Trusty for wishing he had joined Rangers.

Trusty’s Sheffield United side is seven points from safety and continues to lose heavily.

The Blades’ 8-0 defeat to Newcastle United was bad enough, but they have now lost their previous two home games by 5-0.

Brighton and Hove Albion’s crushing defeat on Sunday was aided by an early Mason Holgate red card.

Trusty came off the bench in the first half but couldn’t stop the Seagulls’ scoring spree at Bramall Lane.

Trusty even had the anguish of diverting Simon Adingra’s strike into his own net to make it 5-0, adding salt to the wounds.

Sheffield United are dead right now, and Trusty could play Championship football again next season.

Meanwhile, Rangers are aiming for a title and competing in the Europa League, which is far from a relegation struggle.

Rangers’ interest in Trusty may have faded along with Beale, leaving the defender to wonder what may have been.
