“On Monday, we will begin preparing for the Ross County game.
We don’t care what happens at the table right now; our goal is to strengthen ourselves,
and we’ll see what happens.Diomande noted that going to Scotland is a significant shift for him,
and that the overwhelming support he has received has given him the motivation to push himself in a Rangers shirt.
He explained: “In Nordsjaelland, we would expect 5000 to 6000 spectators.
Coming here is a huge shift.
But it will give me the motivation to push myself since I know there are people behind me who are rooting for me.”
