RANGERS attacker Amad Diallo has limped off against Ross County after picking up an injury.
The Manchester United star, who is currently on-loan at Ibrox, opened the scoring in Dingwall as he poked home a Joe Aribo cross just four minutes in.
But he was replaced on 65 minutes as Fashion Sakala entered the action.
Diallo received treatment before exiting the field of play, but the extent of his injury is currently unknown.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst believes Amad Diallo’s price tag is irrelevant as he looks for his new loan player to make an impact at Rangers.
The highly-rated 19-year-old Ivory Coast international moved to Manchester United from Serie A side Atalanta a year ago, signing for a fee of 21million euros (£18.7million) that could reach 41m euros (£36.5m) with add-ons.
Diallo joined the cinch Premiership champions on Thursday until the end of the season and started today.
“The price tag is there but I don’t think we are looking at his price tag,” said the Light Blues boss.
“I think, for him as well, it’s not a thing that he’s thinking about.
“He’s still a young player who wants to play games. You can feel it when you talk with him, the only place he wants to be is on the pitch.
“We are bringing him to this club to be a value for the team so he’s going to play but he’s part of the squad so he has to perform as well as any other player. I’m full of confidence that he will get that.
“I’m very excited. I think we started the talks with him and his agent on Monday.
“I’m very happy that he wanted to come to us for the remainder of the season.
“We were looking to add a player up front because we lost Ianis (Hagi) for the season so I’m really happy that we can bring in a player with his qualities and I’m sure he will give us a lot of strength in the coming months.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
