Philippe Clement barks back as Rangers boss makes “amazing career” claim

The manager of the Gers has watched several players in his squad develop, but what really speaks volumes about the traits he values most is the way he continues to support Ross McCausland. The 20-year-old has recently been the target of some criticism on social media, but according to Philippe Clement, the Rangers winger is destined for greater things, as reported by The Herald. For McCausland, the season has flown by.

Before McCausland got his chance due to a major hamstring injury sustained by the England youth cap, it was Zach Lovelace who was making an impression. Gaining success at Rangers Academy is one thing, but holding onto your position is quite another. The fact that the 20-year-old accepted a fresh, long-term contract offer and signed it demonstrates how highly regarded he is currently. If you can call it that, the issue is that Ross McCausland is scoring goals in the league at a pace of one per 1000 minutes, give or take, despite his impeccable play and indisputable effort rate.

Not quite what you would anticipate from a forward for the Rangers. However, as was to be expected, Philippe Clement has downplayed the criticism and asserted that McCausland will only ever leave Rangers in one way: “I don’t care what people say about my players; I don’t know what people say.”A player who was on the second team four months ago is now playing for the first squad and has contributed significantly to multiple games this season.

“Playing with the Rangers is a significant step up from playing for the second squad. It involves more than just objectives and data. It has to do with everything else you do. How he wins balls, how he presses. How he maintains the team’s possession. How he operates and behaves within the structure.His drive, concentration, and mentality will help him have a fantastic career.He won’t play for the Rangers as his final or best team.
