What they're saying

"
Mohamed Diomande admits Rangers have not started well enough over the past two seasons. The Ivory Coast international, 24, joined Rangers in the January of 2024 and the Ibrox side got off to a slow start in seasons 2024-25 and 2025-26, particularly the latter. Rangers, who have not won their opening Scottish Premiership game of the season since 2022, open their league campaign away to Dundee United at Tannadice on Friday evening.
