Let's talk about young Nasser Djiga, shall we? Born in Burkina Faso on the 15th of November 2002, this strapping lad’s made quite a journey for himself, hasn’t he? Stands well at 6ft 1in (1.87m), and weighs about 12st 8lb (80kg)—not exactly a wee lightweight flitting around the pitch now, is he?
Donned the number 24 jersey at Rangers, did he? Well, well. An auspicious number for some; for him, only time would tell. Burkina Faso, his homeland, might have had their hearts swell at his commitment, as he donned their colours and represented the national squad—but the real question: did he make them proud?
His current market value sits at around £7m, which isn't half bad considering, you know, just playing the football and all; so says Transfermarkt, to be precise.
Did a wee dance around clubs, didn’t he? Transferred from Vitesse in Premier League, Burkina Faso, to Basel in the Swiss Super League in July 2021. Played a bit here and there, nothing to write home about. Dabbled at Nîmes in the French Championnat National on a loan stint, back to Basel, then off to Red Star in the Serbian SuperLiga—first on loan, then final transfer deal around £2.7m in July 2024. Wanderlust or career moves? We may never know. He then fancied a switch from Serbia to Wolverhampton Wanderers in England for roughly £10m in February 2025. Quite an assortment of leagues and styles, I must say!
Ultimately found his way to our own shores at Rangers in July 2025, spending the current season on loan. And so far, this adventure has seen him make a grand total of eight first team appearances. Sensational, really...
And thusly, we find our globetrotting friend participating in the League Cup, World Cup Qualifiers for Africa, Champions League Qualifiers, and the Europa League. Makes one wonder if he ever unpacks his suitcase...
