Amad Diallo continues post Rangers form as on fire Sunderland loanee grabs third goal in three games

Amad Diallo has continued his post Rangers form as the on fire attacker made it three goals in his last three Sunderland games.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst - now sacked by the Light Blues - snapped up the Manchester United attacker as part of a blockbuster last January window with Aaron Ramsey also arriving on loan from Juventus. Both didn't hit the heights hoped despite Diallo netting just minutes into his debut for the Ibrox men.

He has since gone out on loan once again at Sunderland and after a slow start he's now got up and running with five goals in his last seven outings with three of those coming in his last three games - including a penalty in last night's 2-1 defeat to West Brom. Another familiar face to Celtic and Rangers fans scored in this one with Tom Rogic rolling back the years with a stunning goal that Hoops supporters will be used to seeing during his trophy-laden time in Glasgow.

Diallo stepped up to fire the hosts ahead from the penalty spot before the visitors claimed a huge three points at the bottom end of the English Championship with a comeback win.

Speaking about Diallo last week, boss Tony Mowbray said: "He's only playing on a regular basis because of his talent. I have to sit Patrick Roberts down in my office, who, in my opinion, is probably the most talented footballer in this league, yet he's not playing.

"'Why am I not playing if you think I'm that talented?' 'Well, because this kid assists and scores goals Pat, and with total respect, you scored two amazing goals away at Reading this season and you've had some assists, but Amad's on fire at the moment and he plays in the same position as you.

"My job is to try to find a way of putting them both in the team, yet you have to pick and choose the games where you feel you can be dominant with the ball and put them both in the team at the same time."
