Essandoh 21,102 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Albeit it was the January window but it was a complete shock when Walter brought him in.His whole career has been full of controversy, from spitting on fans, to his five year ban by the Senegalese FA. He was hardly great during his time at Ibrox but for the first time in his career his head finally seemed screwed on and it doesn't take a genius to realise that there was one man, and one man only, to credit for that.I was pretty angry when he signed but he slowly won me over once it was clear that his attitude was far improved while he was wearing the blue. He kept the ball remarkably well and its been a while since I recall seeing a player keep possession so well. I guess that's what years in the Premier League does for you. Other than that, nothing really comes to mind. He scored one goal in 15 appearances and he was used pretty efficiently.Thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jela 20,016 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Disappointed when we signed him at the time. Still think he's a complete tosser. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemdog 39,389 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 All seems fairly surreal now, can't believe he played for us.Wasn't the greatest signing but did enjoy the Diouf chants. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieG54 812 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Lisbon goal and also scored in a terrible 1-0 away win at St Mirren which helped us win the title. Nightmare in OF games as he wanted attention. Him and Boogie getting sent off what a shit game that was :-( Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essandoh 21,102 Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Remember the GIFs of Black flooring him on his debut against Hearts at Ibrox? They ended up in some digital art collection in a museum in New York. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKGER 138 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I was disgusted when we signed him, in fact I suggested a protest on here about the very thought of him signing. http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=176362&st=60 .. He then went on to completly win me over with his effort and skill, his hate for the taigs also helped, they say football fans are fickle, when it comes to me they are right on the money !! Loved the guy, would love him back Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calio 688 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Thought he`d tear the SPL up, shame he had no pace though.saying that, he hates them with a passion, which will do me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I was shocked when we signed him also but he pissed off the Celtic fans so much which was great. He done alright for us. Very funny to see him getting chucked out of Blackburn for showing them his winners medal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer93 15,023 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 It was definitely a controversial signing at the time and half of me believeswatty knew exactly the affect it would have in winding the tims up.It was a tit for tat season that year in as we played them 7 timesand as usual guess who came out on top.

elephants stoned 2,994 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 That night was the night I discovered RM Was pretty disgusted we signed him at first but his antics winding up bigotballls and the bheasts was quality still think from a footballing perspective Diouf was capable of so much more than we got out of him if he had been here longer perhaps we might of seen some of the magic he can produce.
