Latest Rangers reports suggest this is how Clement’s 30-man squad will look on Feb 1st
Philippe Clement expects a busy finale to the transfer window, and the latest Rangers news suggests he isn’t lying.
The Belgian boss made the commitment following the weekend’s 1-0 victory against St Mirren,
and numerous players have since been linked to and out of the club as January heats up.
Here, we look at all of the alleged chopping and changing in the Ibrox team and
how it may affect the club’s squad shape come February 1st.
Rangers transfer news: three new signings?
Rangers have already signed Fabio Silva on loan from Wolves and
have agreed to a £4.3 million loan-to-buy deal with FC Nordsjaelland for Mohamed Diomande.
Both players, aged 21 and 22, arrive with developing reputations in the game,
with Ibrox serving as the stage for their future stages in football.

Rangers, on the other hand, are unlikely to conclude their January shopping there,
with up to three players anticipated to join the club in the coming days.
Brazilian left-back Jefte has been highly linked,
while Colombian winger Oscar Cortes appears to be offered a reprieve at RC Lens in Govan.
There is also a striker vacuum in the squad that has to be filled,
as Rangers witnessed Lawrence Shankland score another goal for Hearts over the weekend.
Are two players about to quit Ibrox?
In terms of outgoings, there are two players for whom transfer interest appears to be high.
To begin, Galatasaray is apparently interested in signing Ridvan Yilmaz,
with Rangers manager Philippe Clement admitting the in-form Turkish international left-back comes at a cost.
With the Super Lig heavyweights also receiving a £25 million cheque from Bayern Munich,
who have signed right-back Sacha Boey, they have enough money to fund a Ridvan move.
Then there’s Ecuadorian midfielder Jose Cifuentes,
who has received a £2 million loan-to-buy deal from Turkish club Rizespor.
There are reservations about Cifuentes’ motivation to transfer,
but it is evident that the Rangers are willing to let him go.
Sam Lammers, another pricey summer addition, has already been loaned to Utrecht.
Rangers squad for remainder of 23/24?
With all that in mind, here is how Philippe Clement’s 30-man squad might look when the window slams shut on February 1st:
GK – Jack Butland/Robby McCrorie/Jon McLaughlin
DR – James Tavernier/Dujon Sterling/Adam Devine
