Balogun admitted that Rangers didn’t live up to expectations in the game.
“I think you have to be honest and I don’t think we showed enough quality today in order to severely threaten them,” the Nigerian told told BBC.
“We all came here with a lot more expectation probably to ourselves and we did not really live up to it.
“I know this is not what the supporters and the people back home want to hear, but sometimes you have to hold your hands up and I think Bilbao showed that they’re the better team. Were we hoping for probably a lucky punch.”
