Rangers are closing in on another new signing at Ibrox, it has been reported, with Philippe Clement about to be handed an attacking ace this summer.
Clement plotting major Rangers changes
Booed off at half-time in their most recent pre-season match, a 2-1 defeat to League One Birmingham City, Rangers look well short of mounting another Scottish Premiership title challenge as things stand.
Quizzed afterwards on potential new additions, the Rangers boss admitted he expected fresh faces between now and the Scottish Premiership getting back underway but refused to be drawn on specificsClement said: “I’m confident of that [new signings] because everyone is working hard for that. There’s a good possibility, but no guarantees. There has to be a signature from three sides – the player, the other team and from us. It’s working every day with the players who are available to make them better and to give them experience in pre-season of course. Because of the Euros everything starts slower. You see that with several teams where nothing has happened yet.
Instead, attention has been focused on outgoings, with Connor Goldson missing the pre-season defeat in an attempt to seal a move away from Ibrox, while Todd Cantwell has handed in a transfer request on two occasions and is now set to be axed from the squad.Another set to leave is striker Sam Lammers, who Clement admitted was not in his plans after spending the second half of the season on loan at FC Utrecht.
He has been training with the second team because it was really clear he doesn’t fit in the plans for this season, we were clear about that a few months ago. We cannot train with a squad of 50, we’re above 30 for the moment. Sam is getting closer and closer to have a good solution and make a transfer.”
But there is one incoming that could have plenty at Ibrox feeling excited.
Winger on verge of Rangers move
That comes with Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg claiming that Rangers are advancing over a loan move for Czech winger Vaclav Cerny, with the 26-year-old “on the verge” of moving to Ibrox from Wolfsburg. The right-winger only signed for the German outfit last season, penning a four-year contract worth £26,000-a-week.
