I believe in Rangers rejuvenation under Philippe Clement but million dollar question needs answered – Kenny Miller

The first few months could be the hardest of Philippe Clement’s tenure at Rangers.

The new manager has come in and will have to work with what he has. There is nothing he can do until the transfer window opens in January. So he has to get more out of the current group. He also needs his best players fully-fit and available – something Michael Beale never had this season. Clement is going to need his top stars fit and available for selection because no team can operate without them.

He also needs to make Rangers more cohesive and insert more energy and movement, especially at the top end of the pitch. They have been far too static for the past two seasons in the front areas. Yes, it takes time to make changes but it could also turn out to be an easy fix. If you are clear about what you want and how you want to achieve it, then there can be an immediate impact.

I’m interested to see what changes he can make in the short-term that leads to a better product on the pitch. Can this squad improve though? That’s the million-dollar question.

I have still to be convinced although I think there is a team in there. If I was picking that team there would be maybe two of the summer signings in the team – Jack Butland and one other.

The rest of the recruits still need to prove themselves. The big-money signings need to turn up now.

There is a new manager in the building and he didn’t sign them. So he has responsibility on him to play them.

He comes in, wiping the slate clean. Look at Steven Davis, he played Zak Lovelace ahead of Cyriel Dessers and Sam Lammers. These guys will need to earn their jerseys back.

Philippe will also have seen a few of these players play before in Belgium. Dessers might have done well in Belgium – but
