Ibrox Exclusive: Rangers two-man Jan signing plan revealed

Rangers boss Philippe Clement is keen to add a new left-back and striker in the January transfer window, sources have told Football Insider.

Clement, 49, is ready to tackle the mid-season window after getting his feet under the table at Ibrox.

The Belgian has made a good start since his appointment last month and is yet to taste defeat in the job.

Speaking to the press in recent days, Clement revealed he is unhappy with the “balance” of his Rangers squad – feeling he has too many players in some positions and not enough in other areas.

He confirmed work is underway on recruitment for the January window – as well as for the 2024-25 campaign.

It is believed left-back is one of the areas the new Gers boss will address in the new year.

Borna Barisic and Ridvan Yilmaz have shared the responsibilities on the left side of Clement’s defence and it is clear that the manager is yet to decide who his preferred option is.

Barisic, 31, is out of contract at the end of the season after joining the club from Croatian outfit NK Osijek back in 2018.

A well-placed source has also told Football Insider that Clement is keen to bring another goalscorer to Ibrox in the January window.

That is despite Michael Beale bringing forward trio Danilo, Sam Lammers and Cyril Dessers to the club in the summer window.

Those three have struggled for form, scoring just 13 combined goals – with right-back James Tavernier leading the scoring charts at Ibrox with nine goals across all competitions.

Rangers are eight points behind rivals and league leaders Celtic with a game in hand on the Hoops.

Clement’s side face Aris Limassol in the Europa League on Thursday (30 November) with the chance to secure passage to the play-off round.
