Philippe Clement is set to bolster his Rangers squad in the January transfer window, with a specific focus on adding a defensive midfielder. Rangers have had a difficult season so far, with early Champions League elimination and inconsistent performances in both the Scottish Premiership and Europa League. As a result, Clement is under pressure to turn things around and prove his worth as manager .
One area where Clement sees the need for reinforcement is defensive midfield. He reportedly prefers to use two defensive-minded midfielders to provide better cover for the backline, but currently only has Nicolas Raskin and Mohamed Diomande in those roles. This lack of depth has been evident at times, such as in Rangers’ recent 4-1 Europa League loss to Lyon, where the midfield looked too open .
The club’s financial situation is expected to limit spending, so Rangers are looking for a “cut-price deal” in January. Midtjylland’s Dario Osorio has been linked with the club, drawing exciting comparisons to Angel Di Maria . Additionally, former Rangers player Andy Halliday has suggested signing Dundee’s 22-year-old midfielder Lyall Cameron as a long-term option .
Clement’s future at Rangers may depend on the team’s results in the coming weeks, as his position could be in jeopardy by the time the transfer window opens .
