Rangers win appeal against Seka Pascal red card

Enugu Rangers have been handed a big boost ahead of Sunday’s Oriental Derby clash against Enyimba after the League Management Company (LMC) overturned Seka Pascal’s red card.

Seka was sent off in Rangers 1-0 loss against Bendel Insurance in a rescheduled Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) game last Thursday in Benin City. The red card was his first in four seasons in the league.

The Ivorian missed Rangers’ 3-0 thrashing in Port Harcourt on Thursday, but will most likely feature in the oriental derby clash on Sunday.

Rangers coach Gbenga Ogunbote believes the striker still has a lot to offer the Flying Antelopes and welcomed him back for Sunday’s derby.

“He (Seka) has not gotten to his peak yet. He is about 75% effective as at now. I expect him to have a perfect end of the season. I am confident he will do more for the team in the coming weeks,” Ogunbote stated.

Seka has been on a good run of form; scoring five goals in six league matches.
