“Rangers’ Summer Moves: Strengthening Squad for Celtic Showdowns”
Terry Butcher emphasizes the necessity for Rangers to secure “quality signings” and for Philippe Clement to embed his coaching philosophy this summer. This comes in light of concerns over their recent performances against Celtic, where they failed to win in the 2023-24 season under Michael Beale and Clement, resulting in a significant gap to their rivals in the Scottish Premiership standings.
Speaking to Football Scotland on June 18, Butcher stressed the importance of defeating Celtic to boost confidence and points in the league race. He highlighted the need for Rangers players to develop a winning mentality against their rivals, suggesting that achieving this breakthrough victory would be crucial in overturning historical setbacks and building a new chapter of success.
Looking ahead, Rangers are actively seeking attacking reinforcements in the transfer market to narrow the gap with Celtic. Kemar Roofe’s departure and fitness concerns surrounding Danilo and Cyriel Dessers have underscored the need for additional firepower up front.
Several potential signings have been identified, including Albion Rrahmani, who has attracted interest after a bid for him by Rapid Bucharest fell short of the club’s valuation. Additionally, Rangers are reportedly close to securing Hamza Igmane for a modest fee, according to reports from the Daily Record.
The expectation is that Philippe Clement will integrate these new additions with the existing squad to firmly establish his tactical approach and playing style. This strategic integration aims to position Rangers competitively against their rivals in the upcoming season.
