Philippe Clement sees Rangers striker solution 'staring him in the face' and should have been using it all along

Forget Cyriel Dessers and Kemar Roofe. Rangers' best option to fill the Danilo void is right under Philippe Clement's nose...and he's been fit all along.

Record Sport columnist Keevins went even further, claiming Sima is the best option even WITH Danilo fit. He chimed in: "If everyone was fit, Sima is the
