Philippe Clement admits he has no other choice but to slot a square peg into a round hole in Prague. But the Rangers boss insists he’s confident the club’s crisis at left-back won’t see their Europa League prospects turn pear-shaped.
The Belgian has flown out for his first European clash in charge without a natural pick to slot in on the left-hand side of his defence after Borna Barisic picked up a thigh issue during the gaffer’s debut win over Hibs.
That would not have been too much of a problem had Clement’s predecessor Michael Beale not chosen to leave regular back-up Ridvan Yilmaz out of his UEFA squad.
But with Dujon Sterling also crocked, the Ibrox boss now faces having to throw one of his players into the deep end against the Czechs out of position.
