Almost three weeks on from Rangers’ hectic end to deadline day, the Ibrox faithful are beginning to see what Philippe Clement’s summer rebuild looks like, with almost every new recruit involved in Scottish Premiership action.
It was still a summer of real change for the Gers, with 13 players leaving the building and 11 coming in to replace them. The Belgian has been able to freshen things up after a tough end to last season, although whether he was given the quality of players he required is a question for the end of the campaign.
Another tough defeat at Celtic Park followed their early exit from the Champions League, however, Rangers’ win over previously unbeaten Dundee United at the weekend has injected some much-needed positivity ahead of the side’s return to their Ibrox home this weekend.
But what is Clement’s strongest XI? Which new signings have actually improved Rangers’ starting XI? Which injured stars will come back into the XI when fit? We had wondered the same thing, so we had a stab at picking the Gers best starting XI if everyone was fit and available for selection.
Do you agree with our selection?
5. LB: Ridvan Yilmaz
Currently out with a thigh injury, the Turkish full-back will need to be complete with Jefte when he returns to fitness, though we rate him as Rangers' best left-back. | SNS Group
6. CM: Connor Barron
Has impressed since his move from Aberdeen in the summer and even broke into the senior Scotland squad. Would currently form part of Rangers' best XI. | SNS Group
7. CM: Mohamed Diomande
A permanent fixture in Philippe Clement's midfield, Diomande has proven to be a positive acquisition for the Belgian. | SNS Group
8. RW: Vaclav Cerny
Hasn't quite hit top form yet, but already has three goal contributions in seven games. Beats off competition from Rabbi Matondo and Dujon Sterling to be Rangers best option on the right wing. | SNS Group
