Philippe Clement’s top three players from 2023 he can trust for Rangers revolution

Before Philippe Clement arrived at Rangers, it seemed laughable to produce this sort of list, however, our recent form makes it an awful lot easier.

For the majority of the season, Michael Beale led the Gers, but with half the team having changed, it makes sense that those who are performing well now are rising to the top.

Without a doubt, Philippe Clement will want to add players of his own, but which Rangers players can he depend on in 2024? Which of the current crop have impressed in 2023?

Philippe Clement’s top three players for Rangers this year

These are the three players selected as despair and disgruntlement has gradually swung round to hope and excitement.

Jack Butland

The first one was simple. signing of the summer and already one of the best Bosman transactions in club history.

It took two seasons later than it should have because it was always going to be difficult to replace Allan McGregor, but at least they did it right.

Only eight goals have been conceded in the league this season, and the Europa League group was topped because he hasn’t failed a step and has produced huge saves when they were needed.

Michael Beale’s Sasa Papac.

John Lundstram

It wasn’t that long ago that fans were wanting him chased. Last season he spoke about having to play through a couple of injuries but he has been our most consistent outfield performer in 2023/24.

Since Philippe Clement took over at Rangers he has been even better. Huge performances in the Europa League and a dominant display in the league cup final have epitomised his resurgence under the Belgian boss. The Ibrox faithful can hear Belinda Carlisle once more.

James Tavernier

Just in ‘23/24 alone he has 15 goals and six assists, add his numbers from the second half off last season and you have the sort of statistics that Brian Laudrup would have been proud of.

He remains our most potent creative threat and also the man that Philippe Clement can rely on to produce a big moment when it matters most for Rangers.

The skipper looks on a mission. Most of 2023 was dull, uninspiring and rudderless, now though, there is renewed optimism.

A seven-point gap has been cut to two, a trophy has been won and we topped a Europa League group featuring La Liga opposition.

The big question is, can Clement get us to the top for Hogmanay?
