The former Genk, Club Brugge, and Monaco manager is happy with progress at Ibrox so far, ahead of the cinch Premiership game against Livingston in West Lothian on Sunday. “It is not yet that the team knows what to do in each situation; we are still working on that, but that is normal; it is three and a half weeks, really short,” said Clement, who confirmed young forward Ross McCausland is “in talks” about a new contract. “But it is important that they start to learn what to do as a team against every formation, and they are getting better and better at that.
Northern Irish forward McCausland, 20, has begun to make his mark at Ibrox this season, and Clement hopes he extends a deal that runs out next summer. Rangers signed McCausland from Linfield in 2019 for a reported fee of £60,000. Clement said, “We are in talks. It is clear that I am giving him good chances. He knows that I believe in him for the future, so it is about him and his family to make the right choice, and I think the right choice is staying here.”
