chilledbear 16 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Daily Record RANGERS are attempting to complete a shock deadline busting swoop on Blackburn to hand Premiership bad boy El Hadj Diouf an escape route to Ibrox. Record Sport understands Diouf is on his way to Glasgow to put pen to paper on loan deal with the SPL champions which will keep him in Scotland until the end of the season. The move comes as Diouf attempts to recover from the latest in a long line of scandals which have repeatedly rocked his career. Just last month he was told his Ewood Park career was over after he was accused of taunting Jamie Mackie as the stricken Scotland striker lay on the pitch with a broken leg during an FA Cup tie. QPR boss Neil Warnock launched a furious attack on Diouf after the match branding him ââ?¬Ë?lower than a sewer ratââ?¬â?¢ and Blackburn manager Steve Keane then launched his own internal probe. Within days, it was clear that the Lancashire outift had decided to ditch Diouf in the January window but they failed to strike a player plus cash deal with West Brom for another Scotland international Graham Dorrans. The 30-year-old was also linked with a move to Turkey but as the options fell through Diouf was facing a long stretch on the sidelines until Walter Smith stepped in at the eleventh hour today with the offer of a short term deal at Ibrox. Diouf is already a hate figure with Celtic supporters after he was caught spitting on a Parkhead fan when playing for Liverpool in a UEFA Cup tie in 2003. Now heââ?¬â?¢s set to return to the city at a crunch stage in the season and could make his debut AGAINST Celtic in this weekendââ?¬â?¢s Scottish Cup derby 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Yep, apparently on his way up for talks about a loan move.... not one to excite me to be honest, but I havent watched too much of him. He plays on the right side of midfield, no ? Trying to get Davis back into central midfield ?? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I pray the Diouf rumour isn't true! Vile person. Yep, agree with that. Horrid person and not a player I would be overly keen on seeing at Ibrox. Will alter my opinion if he scores the winner in the next couple of OF games right enough... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Diouf is an odious cretin of a man, but a bloody fantastic player and I'd give my right nut for him to come to Ibrox. Jelavic Diouf up front? Yes please! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 STV online were reporting that one earlier too Gav. Bikey is seemingly still on the radar too. Wonder how much of Diouf's wages we would be paying ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
