Meant to be’: New Rangers signing proudly wears club colours in childhood photo

A new Rangers signing is living his childhood dream as he shared an old photo of himself wearing the club colours.

The Ibrox club just signed Ivorian midfielder Mohamed Diomandé for £4.5 million from Danish team FC Nordsjaelland.

And it appears that the deal was predetermined,

since the 22-year-old demonstrated his support for the club before to signing.

The club uploaded the video alongside Giulio Cercato’s song Take Me Home.

Fans instantly joined into the comments,

agreeing that Diomande’s signing was’meant to be’.

One person wrote, “He’s one of our own.”

A second person said, “It’s like it was meant to be!”

A third concurred, “Some things are just meant to be!”

Rangers manager Philippe Clement previously stated on Diomandé’s arrival:

“I am very pleased to have been able to add Mohamed to our squad,

and I am excited to see what he can bring to our team.”

“In our conversations and what I have seen of him as a player,

I believe he will be a real asset to us,

not only in what remains of this season but in the seasons to come also.”

Plymouth Director of Football Neil Dewsnip spoke with Plymouth Live about the Lazio interest,

claiming that a transfer approach was “immediately rejected”.

This came during a conversation with Morgan Whittaker,

23, who is believed to be “very happy” at Home Park.

“Last night we received an official offer for Morgan from Lazio,” according to Dewsnip.

“The offer was quickly rejected after internal discussions and consultation with the player’s representation.

Morgan is quite happy at Argyle, and we maintain that he is not for sale.

Rangers had an offer rejected for Morgan Whittaker in January 2023,

when Michael Beale tried to sign the then-Swansea winger.

According to reports at the time, Rangers were willing to pay up to £2 million for the attacker,

who had been recalled to South Wales following a barnstorming loan spell with League One Plymouth.
