Rangers could announce Mohamed Diomande transfer today as D-Day arrives at Ibrox
Rangers could announce the signing of Mohamed Diomande from Nordsjaelland on Friday 26 January, according to Football Scotland.
The Scottish news outlet reported on 25 January that Diomande is set to join Rangers for £4.5million, but his arrival in Glasgow was delayed by the effects of Storm Isha in Scotland.
Official confirmation of the deal could be released later today, with the club media interviews and traditional scarf pictures usually carried out before it is announced to the fans on social media.
D-Day finally arrives at Ibrox
While the excitement over this deal may have slightly died down from the original reaction due to his delayed arrival in Glasgow, but it should be ramped back up again when the club begin to drop the usual hints ahead of an announcement.
All of those who bang the drum of “it’s not done until we see the scarf picture” will be pleased too at the announcement later today officially confirming his move to Ibrox.
The confirmation will bring with it plenty of excitement, and some will hope that that will continue in the latter stages of the transfer window, with Gers pursuing several deals before the deadline as there are still gaps in Philippe Clement’s squad that need filling.
A new left-back and a new striker could both be on the agenda at Ibrox, as well as potential outgoings given the speculation around Ridvan Yilmaz’s future.
But first and foremost the arrival of a new midfielder in Diomande will mark the first permanent signing of the winter window at Ibrox.
