Manchester United youngster Amad has received high praise from one of his new teammates following his immediate impact at Rangers.

The teenager opened his account for Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side, five minutes into his debut which came in Saturday’s 3-3 draw at Ross County.

Despite only sealing his loan move on Thursday, the Ivorian was thrown straight into the starting line-up just two days later.

Donning the number nine shirt, the former Atalanta youngster showed his predatory instincts by tapping home a Joe Aribo cross.

Aribo has praised Amad for his fast start to life at the Scottish champions.

Speaking on Rangers TV, the former Charlton Athletic man said: “It was really good to see.

“You could see that he was a constant threat every single time he got on the ball, and he got on the score sheet.

“He’s getting his numbers in already and that’s very good to see.”

After drawing high praise for his debut from the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Amad will be hoping to steal the headlines once again with an eye-catching performance against Celtic on Wednesday night.

After dropping points against Ross County, Rangers’ gap at the top of the table was cut to two points ahead of the clash at Celtic Park.

The clash against their fiercest rivals will kick off a big month for Rangers which also includes both legs of their Europa League clash against German giants Borussia Dortmund.

It looks like the Ivory Coast international is going to be lining up alongside former Arsenal man Aaron Ramsey, who is in Glasgow to finalise a loan move.
