Rangers, aware that Philippe Clement still has work to do, closed the transfer window without adding a player or two.
The team appears more youthful and vibrant as a result of the management implementing a suitable player trade plan created by Nils Koppen.
Throughout the summer, the Rangers operated on a one-in, one-out philosophy, but when Clement made a suggestion that they may consider bolstering through the free agency market, it gave rise to expectations of additional moves.
Fan media confirms the enigma surrounding the Rangers trialist.
No identities have been revealed, but when the B team introduced a trialist wearing the number five, rumours began to circulate.
Joel Matip was the subject of the initial rumour, followed by one involving Brandon Williams, who had already been connected.
Though it was all but impossible to sign the former Manchester United “brave as a lion” full-back, Clement has already broached the topic of adding a left-back.
After Ben Davies left for Birmingham City, Neraysho Kasanwirjo came to Ibrox and has been a regular center-half.
The 22-year-old made his right-back debut, and if James Tavernier’s dismal play persists, you’ll likely see him there more frequently.
Rangers have sufficient coverage in the middle of the defence thanks to his versatility.
Who then was this enigmatic trialist?
No identities have been revealed as of yet, but fans were informed on X by Stevie Clifford of the Four Lads Had a Dream blog, who confirmed that it wasn’t Williams or Matip but rather a young prospect.
Philippe Clement has no new additions to his options, therefore he is still limited.
Although the youthful center-half impressed many Auchenhowie supporters, he was not the much-needed number six that Clement had suggested may be signed:
Clement commented, “We discussed that in the club and that was the initial plan,” in reference to the purchase of a deep-lying midfield player.
In order to accomplish that, we must now, differently than in the past, identify solutions within the team.
And Connor Barron is doing just that. Dujon Sterling is capable of doing that. The post can be filled by Nico Raskin. But it’s in a different way to Lunny.
“We don’t have to play the same style as we did the previous campaign. It all comes down to what best fits the squad’s characteristics. And we’re going to address that with solutions.
With the former AC Milan academy defender still getting used to playing for a new squad, Clinton Nsiala partnered with the trialist. The France youth cap has not yet made a senior appearance for Rangers’ first team.
The unidentified number five looks like a prospective academy signing rather than a player for the starting lineup, especially considering how young they both appear to be.
