Diallo, who has been given the number 9 shirt at Rangers, appears to have taken little time to settle in at the club. Light Blues boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst has named the forward in his starting lineup to face Ross County in the league.

The Manchester United loan star has marked the occasion by scoring a goal just minutes into the game. Diallo got on the end of a pass from English midfielder Joe Aribo to net his first goal for Rangers.

Having made a bright start to his stint with Rangers, Diallo will be keen to add more goal contributions to his tally before the end of the season. It also remains to be seen if the Manchester United youngster can get on the scoresheet again today.
