Although Glasgow Rangers did not sign a big-name player during the January transfer window, Oscar Cortes and Mohamed Diomande both joined the Ibrox team, demonstrating Philippe Clement’s ability to identify and develop young talent.
The players’ initial response to Scottish football has been encouraging, but it remains to be seen if they can adapt. Over the coming months, as the Gers aim to win the Scottish Cup and Premiership, they may prove to be important members of the team.
Last month, Clement did miss out on adding a few new faces to the team, particularly considering that a gifted winger was consistently linked to the team during the transfer window.
The Rangers’ January schedule
Although a large-scale player departure was unavoidable to finance Clement’s transfer goals, the supporters at Ibrox had high expectations for more than three new arrivals, particularly given their attacking unit’s injury issues.
Danilo and Abdallah Sima are both expected to miss extended periods of time due to injury, and the Belgian manager might regret not adding one or more players with an attacking mentality.
Alhamdulillah, the Rangers’ premiership
According to TEAMtalk, the Gers were supposedly considering a winter transfer for Vitesse Arnhem’s Million Manhoef during the early stages of the transfer window.
In fact, Stoke City moved quickly to bring him to England; they announced his signing for an undisclosed sum last week on transfer deadline day.
Given that he has more goals this season than Ross McCausland, Clement may come to regret passing on the Dutchman.The stats for Ross McCausland’s season
Due to injury concerns, the youthful winger has made quite an impression this season and established himself as a first-team regular under Clement.
The Northern Irishman has only missed one game since making his season debut against Aris Limassol in the Europa League back in October, demonstrating his value as a player. In fact, the 20-year-old has contributed to 23 games with two goals and three assists. Although he occasionally fades into the background and loses effectiveness, his performance will improve with more senior experience.
Since mid-October, McCausland has more than proved to be the right wing specialist, and Clement has demonstrated his willingness to play young players if they are talented enough.
But only Scott Wright is qualified for the role in the event of an injury, which could put Clement in a difficult situation.
This possible issue could have been resolved if Manhoef had been signed when the team was first mentioned in January, especially because he is an even more potent goal scorer than McCausland.
