Rangers could be on the verge of correcting a massive historical transfer oversight involving Yan Diomande following an exciting youth development at Auchenhowie this week.
The Ibrox club famously had global sensation Diomande on trial when he was just a 16-year-old prospect breaking through with American outfit AS Frenzi.
While the Ivory Coast international was incredibly keen on sealing a permanent move to Glasgow, a definitive contract agreement failed to materialise before he ultimately moved to Europe.
Fast forward to the present day, and Diomande has transformed into one of the most sought-after attackers in world football at RB Leipzig, commanding an astronomical £112million valuation amidst a mega £86million bid from Liverpool.
Determined not to let another generation of elite American-based talent slip through their fingers, the Rangers recruitment team has actively pivoted back to the United States market.

Diomande successors spotted on trial at Auchenhowie
According to a new update shared by Talent Hunter US, Rangers have officially taken highly-rated teenage wingers Mikhail Louis-Pierre and Rashaan Jeune on trial.
The 16-year-old dynamic duo have arrived from ONE FC, a prominent youth development academy based out of Miami, Florida.
Mirroring the exact development path initially laid out for Diomande, both players have been integrated into the Rangers Under-19s squad for a two-week training block.
The trial gives the Ibrox coaching staff an immediate, front-row seat to assess the attackers in a professional environment before rival European scouts can encircle the prospects.
Both players have shared a clip of them appearing for Rangers in a behind-the-scenes game at Auchenhowie.

Mikhail Louis-Pierre and Rashaan Jeune boast astounding numbers in the final third
Louis-Pierre and Jeune arrive in Scotland with substantial pedigrees after previously turning heads during a competitive trial stint with MLS outfit Orlando City.
Louis-Pierre has enjoyed a truly remarkable individual campaign in the States, racking up a breathtaking 52 goals and assists across his youth team fixtures this season.
Not to be outdone, his academy teammate Jeune has proven to be equally devastating, contributing an incredible 40 goal involvements of his own.
With the Light Blues actively searching for explosive, cost-effective wingers to future-proof the first-team squad, securing this prolific duo would represent a phenomenal scouting redemption arc.
