Rangers manager in uncharacteristic transfer slip; Ibrox arrivals could now be imminent

Unusually for Rangers, manager Philippe Clement expressed excitement about a potential transfer when

he said new players could arrive at Ibrox in a few days.

The Belgian manager was speaking following Rangers’ convincing 4-1 victory over a sodden

Dumbarton to advance to the fifth round of the Scottish Cup.

Progress was all that counted on a windy and rainy evening at the Rock,

as goals from Scott Wright, James Tavernier, John Lundstram, and Cyriel Dessers sealed the win.

But in the midst of a frantic January transfer window, the specifics of the match were mostly ignored.

Transfer hint for Philippe Clement

After winning the League Cup in December, the Rangers manager was questioned about his players’ “appetite” by Viaplay, the official sponsors of the Scottish Cup.

However, it was something the Rangers boss mentioned later in his reply that will leave supporters scratching their heads.

Usually extremely private about the club’s transfer business,

Philippe Clement was giddy with anticipation and cracked a sardonic smile as

he hinted that things would be resolved in “the next couple of days.”

After the game, Clement told Viaplay, “I want really ambitious players.” They know they will get opportunities if they demonstrate ambition.

“I see a team that is working hard every day to get into the starting lineup,

and we need to keep it up with a few additions over the next two or three days before they want to take on everyone.”

Clement said, “We will see, we’re working hard on that,” in response to a question on potential future signings.

Rangers ties endure following Dumbarton’s Scottish Cup victory.

Rangers are obviously planning their January additions, and based on the responses,

it appears that these additions will happen more frequently now.

It’s unclear when that will happen, but the Rangers leader hinted that transactions may be finalized in a few days, suggesting that something is imminent.

This January, the Gers have been linked to several players at different positions,

with the striker and left-back positions receiving the most attention.

Lawrence Shankland continues to be the most notable connection of all,

with Steven Naismith providing an explanation for the striker’s absence from Hearts’ thrilling 2-1 victory against Spartans away from home.
