Rangers maintained their position at the top of the Scottish Premiership table following a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Kilmarnock in Ayrshire.
Danny Armstrong put Killie in front after 11 minutes from the penalty spot following a John Lundstram handball.
Oscar Cortes saw his effort from outside the box saved by Killie goalkeeper Will Dennis, before Diomande saw his shot go wide of the post.
Matty Kennedy almost doubled Kilmarnock's lead early in the second half but was denied by the in-form Jack Butland, but Rangers would find themselves ahead in the 55th minute after a brilliant free-kick from captain James Tavernier.
The Light Blues then took the lead just four minutes later through a strike from Tom Lawrence low into the bottom corner after Ndaba failed to clear the ball, sparking wild celebrations from the fans in the Rangers end.
Cyriel Dessers struck the crossbar soon after and Rangers had a couple of penalty claims for handball dismissed, however Clement's side hung on for the three points at Rugby Park.
Philippe Clement: "This is a really hard place to come. Kilmarnock make things difficult on this pitch. I've been enjoying it from the first second I stepped into the building and there's no difference from that. I don't make any predictions. We're just focused on ourselves."
Rangers remain two points clear of Celtic at the top of the league - next up for the Gers is Motherwell at Ibrox on Saturday, March 2 at 3pm.
