Time is ‘running out’ for Aaron Ramsey at Rangers & Amad Diallo is in ‘wrong movie’ says ex-Celtic star Kris Commons
KRIS COMMONS reckons time is running out for Aaron Ramsey to make any sort of impact at Rangers.
The on-loan Juventus star joined in a blockbuster deadline day move to boost the Scottish champions' bid to retain their crown.
But he missed the 1-1 draw at Dundee United with a 'minor knock' and is yet to get up to full speed at Ibrox.
Ex-Celtic star Commons believes the Tannadice clash is exactly the kind of 'stuffy' game the Wales international was brought in for, to help unlock defences with his passing and vision.
The former Hoops ace - who had a stint at Hibs - also branded Amad Diallo in the 'wrong movie' and suspects Rangers fans will be becoming concerned over domestic results as they dropped points once again.
He wrote in his Daily Mail column, "Listen, no one can take anything away from Rangers for what they did against Borussia Dortmund.
"They were outstanding and fully deserved to win the match. It was the best result for any Scottish club in Europe since Lionel Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and Co were humbled at Celtic Park.
"But, domestically, I suspect their fans are now becoming concerned.

"This already feels like it has all the hallmarks of another post-winter collapse as we saw during Steven Gerrard's first two seasons in charge.
"What happened against Dortmund was great and I wish them all the best for the second leg. It would be brilliant for Scottish football if they can knock out a genuine European heavyweight.
"But their chances of retaining the league title are beginning to go down the drain. It must be a concern for Giovanni van Bronckhorst."
On Ramsey and Diallo, he added: "Given the manner of the performance in Dortmund and the form of Ryan Jack, Joe Aribo and John Lundstram, I felt Aaron Ramsey might not get into Rangers' strongest team.
"Glen Kamara seems to have lost his way slightly which might have opened up a door for Ramsey, but he wasn't in the squad at all yesterday due to injury.

"Time is running out for him to make any sort of appreciable impact at Ibrox. He was signed to make the difference in the title race, to help Rangers unlock stuffy defences with his passing and vision.
"Yesterday was exactly the kind of game where they'd have hoped he could help, but he wasn't fit enough to play any part.

"As for Amad Diallo, he already looks like he's in the wrong movie. Just because Manchester United spent £37million on him, that's no guarantee of success."
