Pundits in disbelief as Mohammed Diomande delivers a 9/10 masterclass for Rangers

In a derby packed with tension and talking points, Mohammed Diomande stole the spotlight — and left pundits questioning everything they thought they knew about Rangers’ midfield.

After starting recent matches on the bench, Diomande’s return to the starting XI was met with disbelief in the Sky Sports studio.

> 🗣️ “How on earth did he put him on the bench?” one pundit asked in amazement as Diomande ran the show from the first whistle.

From the opening minutes, the Rangers midfielder played with an intensity and confidence that stunned viewers. He pressed relentlessly, broke lines with ease, and dictated the tempo as if the game revolved around him.

> 🗣️ “He plays as if he’s high on something — not literally — but that fearless, unstoppable energy,” another pundit joked, struggling to put Diomande’s performance into words.

Rated 9/10 by analysts, Diomande was everywhere: winning duels, driving Rangers forward, and repeatedly dragging Celtic out of shape. His influence was so complete that one commentator delivered a now-viral line during the broadcast:

> 🗣️ “If Lionel Messi owns Barcelona, then Mohammed Diomande owns Rangers.”

Notably, the praise came with a clear distinction — this wasn’t about Youssef Chermiti or the goalscorers. This was about the man who controlled the game, the engine that powered Rangers’ dominance when it mattered most.

Fans echoed the pundits’ disbelief online, with many asking how a player in such form could ever be left out. By full time, there was no debate left.

Diomande didn’t just play the derby — he bossed it. And judging by the reaction, Rangers may have just found their new midfield general.
