6 Current Football Superstars Who Were Previously at Rangers

This feels like a VERY long time ago. (Credit Rangers FC) As regular readers of Ibrox Noise will know, recently wecompiled a piece about the potential Rangers futureof Alex Lowry.

Currently at Motherwell on loan from Wycombe, the former Rangers playmaker is doing a little bit better in life, and he is one who maybe could return to Rangers in the future if the stars were to align. However, this got Ibrox Noise thinking.

We offered a photo in that particular article regarding a classic Rangers match in which we beat Celtic, featuring Leon King, Lowry himself, Scott Arfield and one Amad Diallo. Of course we all now know that Diallo is a significant player for English giants Manchester United.

Even iftheyare not in a good place at the moment. This got us thinking: what other players have Rangers had in the past five, maybe ten years, who have then gone on to become either superstars or great players in their own right away from Ibrox?

Ibrox Noise takes you through a list that we can compile of such players who either underperformed or were here too young, but then subsequently became great players in the future, at present. Amad Diallo We begin with Diallo himself.

Amad Diallo came to Rangers on loan from Manchester United. They had signed him from Atalanta for £20M at a young age, with an appearance clause adding a further £20M, so he was technically a £40M player.

But he hadn't yet broken through at Old Trafford. In fact, he hadn't come close to it yet.

Rangers got him on loan and he did rather struggle. He did not do badly, but he was a young boy in a pressure cooker of a situation, and it has to be said that Diallo did not thrive in the early stages.

We could see his talent, but Rangers fans became very harsh very quickly on the Ivory Coast player. It is a long memory to recall that February Old Firm under Giovanni van Bronckhorst, when Borna Barišić had to keep the boy calm and console him at the start of the match at Parkhead against Celtic, when Diallo looked clearly very nervous, never having experienced anything like this before.
