Qudus SalihuRangers manager Danny Röhl was full of admiration for midfielder Mohamed Diomande following the team’s hard-fought victory against Livingston at Ibrox, reserving the highest praise for what he labelled an “absolute world class display.” The performance of the Ivorian star was instrumental in securing a vital three points in the Scottish Premiership.
In a match that saw Rangers win 2-1 (on November 22, 2025, according to reports), it was Diomande’s dynamic presence in the middle of the park that dictated the flow of the game, earning him the manager’s highest commendation. He provided the necessary drive and defensive steel, particularly important as Rangers navigate a demanding schedule under the new manager.
”Mo was spectacular today, truly spectacular,” Röhl told the press after the final whistle. “To control the tempo of a difficult home game, and against a team that battles like Livingston, requires immense quality. His work rate, his ball recoveries, and the way he moved the ball forward were all at an absolute world class level.”
Diomande’s performance was highlighted by a crucial goal he scored, demonstrating his ability to contribute in the attacking third as well as performing his core midfield duties. He linked up superbly with teammates, and reports indicate he partnered effectively with Nico Raskin, showcasing the potential for a powerful long-term midfield partnership at Ibrox.
The manager’s decision to build his midfield around the talent of Diomande is clearly paying dividends. Röhl’s public praise is a huge vote of confidence for the young star, cementing his status as one of the most exciting talents at the club. For the Ibrox faithful, Diomande’s consistency and quality offer a genuine source of excitement and optimism as Röhl continues his restructuring effort.
