Rangers could lose over 750 appearances for nothing as Ross Wilson contract record eviscerated

Over 750 Rangers appearances could walk out the door for nothing as Philippe Clement eviscerates the contract record of Ross Wilson.

Rangers chairman John Bewas clear in the publishing net of the club’s latest accounts that improving player trading was set to be a primary focus of the club’s business model.

This is after years of negligence on that front from the recruitment power brokers at Ibrox

who have systemically failed to both boost the club’s ranks with quality and maximise our earning potential.

At the crux of the entire thing is the record of ex-Rangers sporting director Ross Wilson,

with manager Philippe Clement taking a decidedly different view on contracts to the now Nottingham Forest chief.

Philippe Clement calls out Rangers contract record Speaking ahead of the Scottish Cup clash with Dumbarton,

Rangers manager Clement lamented the fact five experienced and high-earning first-team options are into the final six months of their contracts.

Interestingly, we actually count it six with the comments probably a nod to third-choice goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin’s Ibrox future.

In total, it means Rangers could lose 773 appearances (at the time of writing) from their ranks in the summer for absolutely nothing in a situation Clement has branded “crazy”.

The incoming Ibrox gaffer will have also landed a tremendous blow on the ego of Ross Wilson by claiming the situation is not an example of a “well-leaded club”.

Borna Barisic (224 appearances), Ryan Jack (204), John Lundstram (130), Kemar Roofe (93),

Leon Balogun (77), and Jon McLaughlin (46) are all free to discuss terms elsewhere and leave in the summer.

Rangers would then theoretically have to spend to replace them in what is a damning indictment of the club’s crazy approach to recruitment in recent seasons.

Not only is it a host of big names leaving Rangers,

but it’s some sizeable transfer fees too with the first four players mentioned certainly capable of recouping fees at one stage or another of their Ibrox tenures.

Contrast the comments of Philippe Clement with that of Ross Wilson speaking back during his time at Rangers in 2021.
