Calvin Bassey made the switch from Rangers to Ajax in the summer, leaving the Scottish side for a new challenge in Europe, with the Amsterdam club picking him up and giving him a Champions League debut.

The 22 year-old would have been playing in the Champions League for the first time this season regardless, with the ‘Gers qualifying for the tournament along with Celtic from the Scottish Premiership.

Instead, the Nigerian defender made his debut in the competition for Ajax, ironically taking on his former club at the Johan Cruyff Arena.

He was part of a 4-0 win, putting in a solid performance on the biggest club stage of all. He suffered heartbreak with Rangers last season in Europe, losing the Europa League final to Eintracht Frankfurt on penalties, making the despair even more unbearable as the ‘lottery’ confirmed their destiny on the night.
