Breaking News:Champions League impact made by player Phillippe Clement would ‘love to get’ for Rangers
Rangers have had a difficult 2024 which didn’t get any better in the summer as Philippe Clement worked with one hand tied behind his back.
Rebuilding a squad is always easier when a manager is given funds to spend and yet only around £7m left the Ibrox coffers when departures were taken into account.
One of the most painful transfers of the summer was Rangers not being able to bring Abdallah Sima back to the city where his first child was born.

Abdallah Sima makes Champions League impact after Rangers romance
As the window drifted on, hopes grew that a deal of some sort could be done, however, Rangers struggled to move players out and Sima moved to Brest.
Not a fashionably big club, but they are in the Champions League nonetheless.
A platform on which Sima has just shown he can compete with the winning goal against Sturm Graz.

Clement spoke about his desire to sign Sima during the summer and it wouldn’t be a surprise if the Gers boss was the first to pick up the phone to congratulate the 22-year old when you look back to what he said:
“I’ve been in touch with him, of course.
“He’s like one of my sons. Abda loves the club. Abda loves the way of playing we had last season and his role in that. He loved his teammates and the staff.
“But at the end of the day, Brighton is the owner so it’s all about the money then. At the moment it’s not possible. But we will see along the way if there comes a possibility because we would love to get him back. We will see if it is possible.”
Can Rangers return for Sima?
To make matters worse, when Sima signed for Brest, it wasn’t Brighton that he sent a heartfelt goodbye message to, it was Rangers:
“The time has come for me to say goodbye to a club for which I have a lot of affection, for which I took immense pleasure in playing for this club.
