Rangers manager Philippe Clement has suggested that the club are working to sign multiple players in

the January transfer window.

Speaking after the club’s 2-2 friendly draw with FC Copenhagen, the Ibrox manager was facing the press

on everything from the club’s winter transfer business to fresh injuries in the squad.

And the sound bites surrounding potential January signings were certainly a lot more positive than the

rather humdrum update the manager had given in Spain.

Philippe Clement on the signings in January

The Rangers manager implied that the team’s hiring team is working extremely hard to conclude deals,

without going so far as to acknowledge that anything was signed, completed, or even close to being done.

Furthermore, the Rangers boss is adamant that the team has to add new players during the transfer

window in order to contend for three titles this year.

In response to a question regarding the club’s January activities, Philippe Clement stated, “Everyone’s

aligned about that, that we need a few more in certain positions.”

“And everybody in the club who is involved in that is working day and night about that, I know.

“We are a lot in contact. It’s been really busy with those things but until a signature is set by three parties

– player, we, and the other team – until that is not done, it’s not done.

“So I am waiting and I am focused on the players who are here, beside all the talks that we have with

other players and looking at other players.

“So that’s my job to do in January. That’s why for every manager, when it’s the first of February, we are

always very happy that this hectic period can stop.”

The Rangers boss responded, “I get this question a few times but what is closer? ” when asked whether

any deals were close. You remain the same distance from each other as long as there is no agreement.

While certain things are near, the task must be completed.
