The Scottish Sun reports that Jon McLaughlin and Borna Barisic, two Rangers players, are unlikely to remain with the team past the summer.
On April 19, the newspaper said on its website that Philippe Clement had not been giving the two enough playing time this season.
Both Barisic and the experienced goalkeeper, who has made two appearances for Scotland, have contracts that expire at the end of the current campaign.
Major summer rebuilding is ahead for Philippe Clement at Rangers.
With many players nearing the end of their contracts with McLaughlin seemingly headed for the exit door after being linked to it during the winter, Clement will have his work cut out for him at Rangers as they enter a transitional phase of the season.
This summer’s contract expiration for players like John Lundstram, Leon Balogun, and Nikola Barisic is approaching, and rumors have it that Lundstram may be heading to Ipswich Town or Trabzonspor.
Due to this impending departure, Clement will need to reorganize his team to better fit his goals.
The Belgian manager has already begun to imprint his style on the team, but he needs to move quickly during the transfer window because a number of players could be going.
His strategic judgment and leadership will be essential in creating a cohesive team that is capable of contending for the SPFL Premiership championship.
Barisic and McLaughlin don’t appear to improve the starting lineup, but Lundstram has been a consistent player for Clement, so the midfielder may be someone he wants to keep.
In other Rangers news, a commentator has made a salary claim, speculating that an Ibrox exit from the first team could occur this summer.
