Rangers International FC have strongly rejected allegations of ethnic discrimination following recent comments by Super Eagles winger Moses Simon about his experience during a trial with the club many years ago.

“I went to Rangers and trained with them for three months. I was dropped because I was not Igbo, not because of my performance,” Simon said.
