Manchester United star Amad Diallo is talented but is not ready for Rangers‘ first team, claims journalist Chris Jack.

Since then, Diallo’s game time has significantly decreased, with the Ivorian playing just 17 minutes versus Dundee United and not featuring at all against Hibernian and Motherwell before picking up an injury.

That injury has now seen him miss a trip away to St Johnstone and the visit of Aberdeen, so he really has not had a lot of action since joining the club.
