Okolie who has been nicknamed ‘Marcelo’ by fellow players and fans tested full time competitive football action against Wikki Tourist of Bauchi at Gombe stadium, Pantami in the last cub match of the abridge league at the weekend.
Okolie told our reporter on the ‘Super-Six’ playoff scheduled for Agege stadium, Lagos, Wednesday, his team is going to the spirit of champions to win the league
“I will continue to work hard to justify my inclusion whenever am called upon by the coach to serve and to be back to my peak again,” he said.
“With the spirit of champions, I believe that God will give us the trophy at the end of the super six. I am confident that Rangers will play continental football come next season as we have the players to achieve such,” said the former Rivers United wing-back.
