Just over a year on from his appointment as Rangers head coach, Belgian boss Philippe Clement finds himself serious under-pressure at Ibrox after a catastrophic start to the new season.
Replacing Michael Beale in October 2023, the Belgian originally got a tune out of his squad upon arrival, dragging them back into a title race they had long looked to be out of.
However, an under-par end to their campaign left them eight points behind Celtic, while their Old Firm rivals dealt them another hammer when Adam Idah’s last minute goal condemned them to defeat in Scottish Cup final in May.
Sadly for Clement, things have not improved at all, with his Rangers side falling nine points behind both Celtic and Aberdeen after suffering 2-1 defeat to Jimmy Thelin’s side at Pittodrie on Wednesday. With the Premier Sports Cup semi-final against Motherwell next up, many supporters and pundits believe a defeat would seal his fate.
Amongst the melee of criticism towards the Belgian, intense scrutiny has also been placed on Rangers summer transfers, with Sky Sports pundit and former Rangers striker Kris Boyd slamming the club’s recruitment following the loss to Aberdeen.
In total, there were there have been 12 players who came through the doors at Ibrox during Clement’s time as head coach - but who has offered Rangers the most?
Here we rank all 12 Rangers players signed by Clement from worst to best. Do you agree with our ratings?
9. Jefte
One of the few small positives from Rangers' season so far. The young Brazilian has looked a solid acquisition, with room to grow. Has played more than expected due to Ridvan Yilmaz's thigh injury, but has performed well for Philippe Clement. 6.5/10 | SNS Group
10. Connor Barron
He is far from the finished article, but Barron has shown flashes of quality, with his form earning him a promotion to Scotland's senior squad. Neat and tidy on the ball, he'll hope to grow his influence on games as the season progresses. 6.5/10 | SNS Group
11. Mohamed Diomande
Had a big impact upon his arrival last January, Diomande made a huge difference to Rangers' starting XI when they looked like genuine title contenders in 23/24. He tailed off a little towards the end of that season though, and hasn't quite been at full tilt in this one either. That said, he's shown plenty to excited about and at 23, his career is still very much in its infancy. 7/10 | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
12. Vaclav Cerny
He's had his critics since arriving, but nine goal contributions in 15 games is extremely impressive. The Czech winger has become Rangers' most effective attacking player in recent months. A really smart signing by the Ibrox hierarchy, if he can keep up this level of efficiency in front of goal. 7.5/10 | SNS Group
