Breaking News:Philippe Clement forces two summer Rangers signings to wait to make Ibrox debuts
Rangers brought in no fewer than 11 new players this summer as Philippe Clement overhauled the Ibrox club’s squad.
With 16 also heading out the door, the Belgian manager has breathed fresh life into a stagnant first-team and offered big opportunities to a number of young stars.
As the likes of Jefte and Connor Barron impress, the stage is set for fellow new arrivals like Nedim Bajrami and Hamza Igamane to make their Ibrox mark.
But following the 3-0 Premier Sports Cup win over Dundee, there are still two of the 11 new signings who are yet to make their Rangers debut.

Rangers signing pair made to wait on Ibrox debuts
Rangers fans got their first glimpse of Dutch defender Neraysho Kasanwirjo when he replaced James Tavernier late on against Dundee.
The under-fire Ibrox skipper got a round of applause from Gers fans after opening his account for the season with a second half penalty kick.
The arrival of Kasanwirjo on loan from Feyenoord will provide competition to the Rangers captain with Gers fans eager to see what the Dutch U21 defender will bring the Ibrox.
But whilst Neraysho Kasanwirjo made his Rangers debut against the Dee, there are still two summer arrivals who are yet to play for the Gers since joining the club.
Former Rangers academy goalkeeper Liam Kelly never made an appearance at Ibrox after coming through at the club as a youth player.
The stopper is still yet to dislodge Jack Butland with the Gers number one putting in an inspired performance in the Premier Sports Cup victory.
New Rangers arrival Clinton Nsiala, who joined the club from AC Milan in the summer, is also yet to make a competitive first-team appearance since moving to Ibrox.
Like Hamza Igamane, Philippe Clement has previously suggested that big things are expected of Nsiala at Rangers.
