Fans across social media were quick to turn on Manchester United loanee Amad Diallo during the Old Firm derby.
Celtic welcomed Rangers to Celtic Park, and made light work of the visitors as a Reo Hatate brace in the first half saw them romp home to a 3-0 win over their oldest rivals.

It was their first win over Rangers in 7 attempts, and took them above Steven Gerrard’s old side in the Scottish Premiership. However, it was loanee Amad Diallo’s performance that stood out to some fans.
Diallo hooked at half time
Youngster Amad Diallo was only loaned out to Rangers in January, but made an instant impact with the Gers, scoring 5 minutes into his Rangers debut.

However, it was an altogether more difficult proposition this time around. Hooked after just 45 minutes against Celtic, fans were quick to question him.
Important preparation for #mufc that Amad Diallo becomes accustomed to increasingly haunting experiences against a club’s closest rivals.

Amad Diallo taken off at half-time. Rangers 3-0 down & have looked shambolic in the derby so far

Don’t want to hear anyone saying “Amad Diallo is young” “he’ll improve a lot”. Attitude sticks and football iq is same as his shoe size ? United scouting team should be fired

Mental how the whole Scottish season was moved so that Amad Diallo could be signed and registered to play in a game he wouldn’t otherwise have been eligible for only to get subbed at half time.
