Breaking News:Rangers surprise transfer move sees Philippe Clement receive 41-cap international decision
The transfer window may have shut; however, this hasn’t stopped Rangers from being linked with signing new players to help Philippe Clement.
After watching his side overcome an awkward Dundee United, the manager must have noticed the occasional lack of control and absence of a wise old head in midfield.
Clement has hinted that there was a “possibility” of Rangers entering the free agent market for a number six, which sees the latest transfer news seem a little out of place.

Davy Klaassen turns down Rangers to rejoin Ajax
According to transfer journalist Nicolo Schira, the hugely experienced Davy Klaassen – who was one of the best free agents available – has knocked back a move to Ibrox to return to Ajax.
“Behind The Scenes – Davy #Klaassen has turned down #RangersFC and #RoyalAntwerp bids in the last days to return to #Ajax. #transfers.”
With Nedim Bajrami signing for £3.4m, Tom Lawrence in fine form and Mohamed Diomande capable of moving into a more advanced position, it would seem strange to sign another attacking midfielder who would be on big wages regardless of if he has 41 Netherlands caps.
And this is without considering the day that Clement swallows his pride to restore Ianis Hagi to the first team squad.
The issue, as it was again at Tannadice was missing a midfielder who can dictate the tempo of a game and slow an opponent who is in the ascendency.
Steven Davis was a master at this, and few have been better in the colours of Rangers than Barry Ferguson.
Fans aren’t expecting this calibre of player on a budget, but it is a role that has been an issue for some time.
Nicolas Raskin could be Rangers best number six option
The player who seems to fit this profile the most is Nicolas Raskin, however, Connor Barron’s form sees him almost undroppable.
