Dressing room insider talks Rangers protests and what Ibrox squad thinks of Philippe Clement

The 23-year-old Ivorian midfielder was a standout player in the 3-1 victory over St Johnstone, scoring and providing an assist to completely destroy Simo Valakari’s squad. However, a string of Union Bears protests overshadowed the game, putting everyone under scrutiny, from the Ibrox tea lady to new Rangers CEO Patrick Stewart. Mohamed Diomande was questioned about the situation with Philippe Clement and the protesters from within the stadium during the post-match press conference at Ibrox.

Mohamed Diomande on protests by Rangers supporters

Mohamed Diomande may have been instrumental in Rangers’ victory over St Johnstone, but the Ivory Coast international was questioned about the circumstances at Ibrox instead. The Gers are currently 15 points behind in the Scottish Premiership, marking yet another season in which the team’s unimpressive players have failed to pose a significant threat for the championship.

Last season, Diomande was a member of the club that fell apart in the last minutes, but this season, Rangers’ yearly breakdown occurred early in the holiday season. Diomande feels that the majority of Rangers supporters are still very much with this youthful Ibrox team, despite the intense protests about the circumstances at full time. “It went well, we won, and that’s what we wanted to do,” Diomande remarked. I was so preoccupied that I didn’t really see anything about the protests; I completely missed what was happening.

But I thought they were on our side since I could hear a lot of commotion and it sounded like the support didn’t give in.I had little idea what was happening. “We just want to win the games and we know winning the games will make them happy because that’s what the club is about.” “I think they have been backing us and as I said, I felt like they did today also.” I played my game today along with my teammates to help them.

The Rangers team supports Philippe Clement.

Last week, Rangers CEO Patrick Stewart backed Philippe Clement, and Mohamed Diomande has now followed suit. Diomande was acquired from FC Nordjsaelland in Denmark by Belgian manager Clement in January of last year, and the Ivorian has been the face of the team’s redesigned hiring strategy.

Mohamed Diomande says the Rangers manager has the support of the team despite the increasing pressure on him. The Ivorian has asked his teammates to “deliver” on the methods they are being taught in training, rather than accepting some responsibility for the predicament. Diomande remarked, “I will say it’s all of us together.” “I trust him, and I’m sure the other players do too,” he said.They have faith in his strategies and what he intends to bring to the team; all we have to do is perform as he does at practice.
