Mohamed Diomande marked his third outing with new club Corum FK with a wonder-strike this evening.

The former Rangers midfielder played the full 90 minutes away from home for his side in the cauldron that is Besiktas.

The home side had led 2-0 thanks to another ex-Ranger in Vaclav Cerny and then a finish from Dusan Vlahovic from the penalty spot. But Diomande's bullet reduced the deficit to take the scoreline back to 2-1 on the 52nd minute.

The Ivorian picked the ball up perhaps 30 yards from goal and took a touch before burying the ball into the top right-hand corner of the net to stun the support into silence.

It was a magic moment from the club's new signing - who raked in £4.5million for the Light Blues this summer - but it did little for the team in the end as they were ultimately blown away by their opponents.

Besiktas would go on to rally and hammer Corum 6-2 to climb the Super Lig table into third spot.

Diomande, meanwhile, sits 16th with his new club who have spent big this summer in a bid to push up the division themselves after recent promotion.

The 24-year-old made 122 appearances for Rangers across his time in Glasgow, scoring 10 times and offering 14 assists in that period.
