Before the stunning swoop for Aaron Ramsey the arrival of Amad Diallo was the most talked about transfer of the January transfer window in Scotland. Once again the Transfer Window trophy was being taking pride of place in the Blue Room.
Ross Wilson had again came up trumps. Having sold Nathan Patterson for £16m to Everton, the Ibrox transfer guru has brought in a £37m rated Manchester United star to deliver the £40m cheque that comes with winning the SPFL title and a place in the group stage of the Champions League.
Five minutes into his debut Diallo opened the scoring away to Ross County, from that moment on it has been downhill for the teenager who had made seven senior appearances, none of them lasting 90 minutes, before he arrived at Ibrox.
Diallo was on the bench long before Ross County equalised, four days later he lasted 45 minutes of the Glasgow derby with Greg Taylor just too hot to handle.
Against Hearts and Annan it was obvious that the on-loan winger isn’t anywhere near t being ready for the serious end of the professional game. At Tannadice yesterday a less than whole-hearted performance wasn’t appreciated by the away supporters.
While Diallo appears to be getting game time whenever committed Alex Lowry, the latest starlet to come out of Murray Park appears to have disappeared without trace.
Anyone know why @Alexlowry101 appears to be dropped but @AmadDaillo gets a place in the squad? Even if Alex has let his appearance go to his head he’d still give more effort than Daillo !

I’d send Diallo back to Man U immediately.

He’s lazy I don’t like him so far

No having Diallo just a show pony for me

Scunnering stuff. VAR can’t come to Scotland quickly enough but still think we should be doing more to win there anyways.
3 points from 4 away games ?Side note, Diallo coming on & shitting out of 50/50s then not squaring the ball. He was embarrassing when he came on. pic.twitter.com/cA3BJo7JbZ
Also we have signed diallo to be our right winger until the end of the season and in truth he doesn’t look ready. Looks scared to get into tackles and totally wrong decision when through on goal that could have won the game

Diallo has the heart of a mouse and the work ethic of a tim. Not a great combination. He literally ran away from a tackle today. The type of guy that pulls a dead body on top of himself in a foxhole rather than fight.
Bring him on if we’re 3 up at home and that’s it.

After watching Diallo play for a few weeks I really don’t get what Man United fans see in him. Looks completely out of his depth at Rangers. That one on one he missed today is completely unforgivable. Winston from Still Game would have put that away and he has a rubber leg

Thats exactly what I’m telling you. Diallo is rotten, Ramsey doesnt look like he’ll be fit enough, Sands offers nothin mg different, and Zukowski is a young project player replacing Patterson. Horrific window yet again.

Never want to see Diallo wear a Rangers shirt again . an utter disgrace of a performance

Diallo’s performance was shocking but it’s made half our fan base overlook the fact McGregor should not be in between the sticks ever again

Diallo represents the modern day social media player, loves a skill compilation and hype but doesn’t want to do the basics of the game and earn a legacy.

“2. Morelos booked for ???”
I think those blue tinted specs have become totally opaque if the twat can’t see the reason for the booking. Which should have been a red btw after his earlier elbowing that Brother Boaby conveniently missed…..
I wonder will ramsey make it past the 20 minute mark b4 the season ends, apparently he’s developed a ripasso pot belly while he was chilling out in Italy…I suppose, who wouldn’t when your shafting Juve to the tune of 1.6m a month!
