Rangers FC in purple jerseys lost points! The Manchester United reinforcement scored immediately

Rangers FC are a very unpopular team in the country. They are remembered by the Czech football public mainly because of the cases of unexplained racism and brutal play. However, they knocked out Sparta Prague in the Europa League group stage and are looking forward to the spring part of Europe’s second best competition. They still lead the Scottish Premiership, but a loss against Ross County could be a downer.

Rangers FC take on home side Ross County, who are only 10th in the table, in the 24th round of Scotland’s top competition. The Riders went into the game as clear favourites and also took an early lead.

Amad Diallo, who is visiting Scotland from Manchester United, scored his first goal for the Scottish champions A lot of credit for his shot goes to Joe Aribo.

Anyway, Rangers FC’s unconventional purple jerseys didn’t bring any luck. After the first half, Ross County led 2-1. In the second act, The Gers turned the game back around when defenders James Tavernier and Connor Goldson scored.

Tavernier, by the way, is the most potent defender in terms of goals if you compare him to all the defenders operating in the top 5 European leagues. He has already contributed to 16 goals (goals + assists) this season.

Anyway, in the 96th minute came a shock for Rangers FC! Only 19-year-old Matthew Wright scored and sent the favourites to Glasgow with only one point.

This loss could be a shame for Rangers, as they have an eternal rival in Celtic breathing down their neck. On the other hand, the contribution of the Red Devils’ reinforcements could be significant and decisive once incorporated, both in the title fight and in the Europa League, where Rangers will face Borussia Dortmund.

Amad Diallo’s stats

The Ivory Coast youngster’s detailed stats were not bad at all in his first game (at Rangers FC). He had a centreball success rate of 100%, a passing success rate of over 90%, 38 touches on the ball, four shots and added one key pass to his goal.

Diallo spent 66 minutes on the pitch, after which he was replaced by Fashion Sakala. The prestigious WhoScored site gave him a rating of 7.36 and was the third highest rated player on the pitch.
