Rangers prioritize signing a new contract with the “outstanding” Ibrox star.

Rangers have apparently made the contract renewal of one of Philippe Clement’s key players a high priority, even though their focus will rightfully be on the Scottish Premiership title fight considering that they now sit level on points with Celtic and only behind on goals scored.

Following a productive January transfer window that saw the arrivals on loan of Oscar Cortes, Mohamed Diomande, and Fabio Silva, Rangers’ focus appears to have shifted to possible summer departures as Clement attempts to establish himself at Ibrox. After such an outstanding four months in charge, the former AS Monaco manager has earned the right to make some adjustments and put his ideas into action.

Jon McLaughlin, Borna Barisic, and Kenrick Roofe are a few players that are certain to depart; their contracts expire this summer, and it is said that they are unlikely to sign new agreements before then. Given that the Gers only have one other first-team left-back available in Ridvan Yilmaz, whose future is also in doubt, Barisic’s departure will be especially frustrating.

John Lundstram might not be among the wave of free agents heading out of Ibrox in the upcoming months, though. According to earlier rumors, Lundstram was expected to get a new contract offer from the Rangers. But as of right now, the Rangers have made Lundstram’s new deal their main priority, and negotiations are well under way as they try to finally guarantee the midfielder’s Ibrox future, according to Pete O’Rourke of Football Insider.

Clement, who is also eager to hang on to the former Sheffield United player because he is apparently eager to remain in Scotland, has become a supporter of Lundstram. The midfielder for Rangers was previously commended by the manager, who stated:

He is important in many aspects. He is not a secretive person. He’s chasing the ball nonstop. He makes adjustments during every game in an effort to find gaps, and he is aware of the tactical analysis we want to carry out each time.”

“Outstanding” Under Clement, Lundstram is an important player.

Experienced in midfield, Lundstram has developed into a vital member of Rangers’ squad under Clement; in fact, it’s rare these days for the 29-year-old to be out of the starting lineup. Lundtstram has actually started 22 games and has only missed two in the Scottish Premiership this season, making one appearance off the bench. Lundstram could be pivotal if Rangers are to successfully win the title again.

Chris Wilder, who praised the midfield player following Sheffield United’s 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace in 2020, was well aware of the player’s abilities.

“I must admit that when John Lundstram first appeared, I thought he was fantastic. He has missed a few games with the team. He has excelled for us. His vigor has diminished, but John is aware that we have real competition.

That being said, if Rangers manage to guarantee Lundstram’s future with the team, it might turn out to be one of their most underappreciated choices. Of course, if the Gers win the championship race, it might not be too long until the former Premier League player becomes the Scottish Premiership champion.
