Philippe Clement affirms that he and the Rangers board are in sync as they approach the upcoming January transfer window.
Under the Belgian’s management, the Gers showcased exceptional progress in their recent victory over Motherwell, securing a comfortable win with two early goals from Kieran Dowell and Todd Cantwell. This victory brought them within two points of Celtic, with a game in hand, ahead of the much-anticipated Old Firm derby next weekend.
Maintaining an unbeaten record as Light Blues boss, Clement is poised to reinforce his squad as the January transfer window opens. While he anticipates additions to the team, he remains cautious, emphasizing that the certainty of a signing only materializes when the ink touches the paper.
Acknowledging the ongoing efforts, he stresses the alignment between his views and those of the board.
Responding to queries about the team’s progress with potential signings, Clement stated, “Are we close, are we far? You are close when a signing is made, when the signature is there. Before that, you’re never close. I’ve seen enough in my career.” He further expressed confidence in the shared vision between himself and the board, indicating concerted efforts to expedite the process.
Amidst the positive developments, Clement expressed hope that the injury sustained by Connor Goldson, who was replaced by John Souttar during the match due to a groin strain, won’t pose a significant setback ahead of crucial upcoming fixtures against Ross County and Celtic.
As the team prepares for the transfer window and evaluates the status of injured players, Clement affirmed a day-by-day approach to managing the situation, signaling careful consideration of the team’s circumstances in the days to come.
