Amad Diallo scores with first shot on loan at Rangers

Amad Diallo required only five minutes to open his Rangers account, scoring with his very first shot in the Scottish Premiership.

Diallo has joined Rangers on loan from Manchester United after falling down the pecking order at Old Trafford due to a combination of injuries and signings in his position.

The winger’s bid to rediscover peak form and fitness got off to an encouraging start on Saturday, though, as he struck against Ross County.

Diallo was left with a simple task to turn in the first shot of the match after fine work from Joe Aribo forged an opportunity worth 0.63 expected goals.

The 19-year-old, who joined United from Atalanta last January, has one goal and one assist in his nine games so far for the Red Devils.

However, that sole goal, against Milan, came from Diallo’s first attempt as a United player – a feat he has now repeated in Scotland.
