Scotland: Rangers sign Amad Diallo on loan

-

Manchester United winger Amad Diallo has joined Rangers on a six-month loan.

The 19-year-old Ivory Coast winger has made only nine appearances since his switch from Atalanta last year. His only goal for the club came in a Europa League match against AC Milan.

Rangers sporting director Ross Wilson was delighted with the temporary addition and described it as "a really exciting signing for us".

He added: "Amad and United had an array of options this window across the Premier League and in Europe."

Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst told his club's website: "He is a player who I have been aware of for some time and when the opportunity to sign him came up, we were very keen to make it happen.

"He will add a lot to our squad and provide even more competition for the players in the forward areas."

More reaction to the transfer

The player himself tweeted: "'I'm happy to be here, can't wait to get started."

One Rangers told us: "He is signing for the biggest club in Scotland. The pressure will be on him but he should thrive. WATP"

This was the tweet that announced the signing.

One Manchester United fan replied to this tweet saying: " All the best Amad, go and smash it lad and pick up plenty of invaluable experience. Come back ready to get into the United team in the summer."

The young attacker has an interesting few weeks coming up at the club. Rangers have an interesting Europa League game to come up against Borussia Dortmund. However, there's a small matter of a match against Celtic to come up next week. A few months ago, NewsBall UK discussed some of the most memorable moments between the two clubs.

It's time to for another sliding doors moment in football  We travel back to 2004. Manchester United face Porto in the last-16 of the Champions League.  Author - Liam C What actually happened? A ontroversial offside call against Paul Scholes became a pivotal moment in European football history. The disallowed goal cost United a place in the quarter-finals, while Porto, managed by the up and coming manager José Mourinho, went on to win the competition and launch Mourinho into the managerial elite. But what if Scholes hadn’t been ruled offside? How might this alternative scenario have changed the landscape of world and European football? Scholes wasn’t offside: United progress Had the linesman not flagged Scholes for offside, Manchester United would have progressed to the next round of the Champions League. Scholes' goal was legitimate, and had it stood, United would have won the tie on aggregate, knocking out Porto and ending their European dreams. With the Red Devils moving

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Kilmarnock 1 - 0 Rangers Rangers remain six points behind the Premiership leaders after suffering a late defeat against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park. Author - Mark Lee In a lacklustre match, Rangers wasted several opportunities to secure three points. A combination of poor finishing and solid defending from Kilmarnock made it another frustrating afternoon for the Belgian manager. As the game was heading for a draw, David Watson's lob found Marley Watkins, who beat the offside trap and bundled the ball past Jack Butland. The Gers need to regroup quickly ahead of their Europa League match against FCSB on Thursday. Meanwhile, Derek McInnes' team has now moved to seventh place and are just outside the top six on goal difference. A closer look at how Kilmarnock stunned this Rangers side Home form has traditionally been a strength for Kilmarnock , but they had recorded five draws and one defeat in all competitions on their own pitch leading up to this game. ⚽️ Goal of the day: Mar
