McGowan: Rangers get creative as Celtic leave tens of millions burning hole in Parkhead bank
According to Stephen McGowan, Rangers may have already decided the SPFL title race with their January acquisitions, while Celtic left tens of millions burning a hole in their pocket at Parkhead.
Through the newspaper’s print edition [19 February, page 70], the Scottish Daily Mail journalist revealed that, despite having few resources, the Ibrox club demonstrated creativity by signing players like Mohamed Diomande.
In the 3-0 victory over St Johnstone, Diomande scored his first goal for Rangers with a 20-yard rocket, and he is already starting to prove why his move to Ibrox was beneficial.
McGowan wrote this for the Scottish Daily Mail: “January signings show every sign of settling the title’s fate.” Celtic left tens in an instance of corporate carelessness.
of millions burning through the winter window, a hole in the bank.
“Despite having little funding, Rangers used ingenuity to sign players like Mohamed Diomande to loan deals that required a summer purchase.”
Could the Rangers’ January transfer window be crucial?
Diomande’s presence has already begun to have an impact at Ibrox; his first goal against St Johnstone set up a 3-0 victory, and the other January additions to Rangers have also started quickly.

From their arrival at Ibrox, both newcomers have made an impression.
Rangers have made the most of their limited resources and appear to be picking up and pushing on in the second half of the season, while Brendan Rodgers’ team continues to stumble and commit careless mistakes. And bringing Nils Koppen to the club in the director of football position at the Glasgow club is starting to look like a masterstroke from the board.
