Philippe Clement responds to Danilo 'limping' claim and explains how he WALKS after deleted Rangers tweet sparks fears

Philippe Clement explained Danilo’s WALKING STYLE after fans feared he was limping despite being on the Rangers bench for the Champions League defat to Dynamo Kyiv at Hampden Park.

Supporters responded to a clip posted on social media by the Ibrox club of the Brazilian, along with his team-mates, coming out of the tunnel as the Rangers players walked out shortly after arriving at their temporary home of the National Stadium.

The 25-year-old played for 45 minutes of a pre-season friendly against Birmingham City but hasn’t seen any minutes of competitive action.

Clement said: “In what video was he limping?”

Clement “Or from two years ago maybe?

I wanted to put him in,
