Wolves Loan Watch 2025/2026

His positional play and awareness has been very good. Always seems to be in the right area to block.

He did get done by McGinn but that was him covering the space behind the RB and McGinn had the run on him, so always a tough one.

Seems very calm but this is Motherwell, so you hope he would look OK.
 
Motherwell without their only good player as well, Lennon Miller (son of Lee) who looks like he might move to Torino.
 
Ends 1-1. Motherwell should probably have won it. Djiga had a good game though.

Congratulations to Celtic on retaining the SPL title
You Fraud Kenny absolute fraud. You see Paddy Power post that and you rob it. Fraud man.
 
Yeah Kenny's post is pretty spot on for me. I wouldn't say I was impressed to the extent I'd sign him on that one viewing, but he didn't look hopeless. He does look a bit uncomfortable on the ball but then playing for RM will hopefully give him experience. I checked the stats and he was 3rd for passes and had 90 touches of the ball which was also 3rd for that cat. But he was behind Taviner and Souttar for both by a way, so feels like they don't trust him as much with the ball despite that. Souttar was playing all the forward and higher risk stuff from what I felt, but like I said still a decent indicator, as feel they lose today without him. Almost stops the goal too but took a weird deflection and he can't quite get to it when it's played back in.
 
First proper update of the season:

Nasser Djiga - Rangers (SPL)

Followed up last week’s first-leg display with another full game in a 1-1 draw at Panathinaikos. The result puts Rangers into the next qualifying round (Viktoria Plzen) and guarantees them group-stage European football of some sort this season.

He also played a full game in their league opener, a 1-1 draw at Motherwell. Playing RCB in a back four, he earned praise from fans online for his pace and positioning.

Nigel Lonwijk - Luton (League One)

Made his league debut with 67 minutes at LWB for Luton in their 1-0 win at home to AFC Wimbledon on Friday.

James Storer - Greenock Morton (Scottish Championship)

Helped Greenock Morton through to the knockouts of the Scottish League Cup by keeping two clean sheets in three games in the tournament’s group stage.

He followed this up with another shutout on his league debut, a 0-0 at home to Dunfermline. In this, he pulled off a string of great saves, the highlight being this one from a free kick.

No game: Nasta

I’m up visiting the in-laws for a couple of weeks so am off to Ibrox tonight to see Rangers v Viktoria Plzen in a CL qualifier. Will report back on how Djiga looks (if he plays!).

I saw him vs Panathinaikos last week. Nothing that looked like a massive red flag in terms of errors or style but also didn't especially stand out.
 
Year on year I see Rangers in the SPL and they are absolutely shite, then they go and pull out results in Europe.

3-0 up with 20 to go, win this tie and I think they are guaranteed at least Europa League.

I think that Europa league was secured with last week’s victory

Ibrox is Ibrox. Hard place to play for an opponent when it's a European night. A little easier when you're a mid table SPL side looking to take a point and Celtic have the extra spending power to cover that difference.

That was the away following 😂 Plzen were really poor, but you can only beat what’s in front of you and Rangers played well tonight.

Djiga was very neat and tidy. I don’t remember him giving the ball away once - lots of neat one touch passing to escape a press/play the ball wide etc. He’s not the type of defender that’s going to spray 30-40 yard raking passes into the forwards - but what he does, he did well. He also made an almost certain goal saving block when it was only 1-0. All in all, a good nights work for him. He was down on the ground when we were filtering out at the end getting some treatment so hopefully he’s ok.

In respect to Rangers and Ibrox. Their crowd are a bit of a throwback. Every time a ball isn’t played forward, there’s moaning. Lady sat behind me at one point said “I don’t like him, he’s too slow”, when Djiga looked a tad relaxed in possession (but still laid it off to a teammate with ease). Martin has obviously instructed them to recycle possession and be patient instead of lumping it forward and I don’t think a few of the locals are fans.

Still, good result for them tonight and there’s no way Plzen are scoring three without a goal going in at the other end next week.
 
To be fair Russell 'if he was chocolate, he'd eat himself' Martin's football is fucking arse gravy, or at least it was in England. He's a complete pseud.
 
Had a look at a Rangers forum earlier, the comments on Djiga were very good for tonight's game, previous matches were mixed. They're already talking about paying us for him permanently (no idea if they could afford him). Obviously it's just fans talk on a forum but still it's positive so far.

He's a prime candidate for the "figjam" nickname that the Aussies gave Kevin Pietersen - "Fuck, I'm Awesome (Just Ask Me)"
