As the international break draws to a close, Rangers are gearing up for their return to league action. Newly appointed boss Philippe Clement will be taking charge of the team for the first time, and he has been working closely with the players in preparation. While some Rangers players were away representing their countries, the club may have been scouting potential additions for the future.
One player who caught the attention of the Rangers radar is Leicester City defender Harry Souttar. The club had hoped to secure his services on loan, but a deal was ultimately not reached. Souttar has been grappling with limited playing time under new Leicester boss Enzo Maresca, making just one Championship appearance this season. However, despite his struggles at the club level, Souttar has continued to shine on the international stage for Australia.
In Australia’s recent match against New Zealand, Souttar notched the opening goal, further adding to his remarkable goal-scoring record in international competition. With eight goals in 19 caps for his country, he has certainly proven his value as a reliable scorer. While Rangers may still be interested in acquiring Souttar, the recent departure of boss Michael Beale has left this rumor uncertain. The club is now in search of a new sporting director, and it remains to be seen whether Clement would maintain the interest in Souttar, despite his impressive performances for Australia.
