    Gerrard reportedly in for Tav and Goldson

    I would genuinely accept any respectable offer to get them moved on and free up significant wages.

    We should be able to source replacements who are ten years younger and on a fraction of the wages.

    Start with Max Johnston at Sturm Graz to replace Tav.

    Long term bluenose, under-21 Scotland international, current value on TransferMarkt is £1m, still only 21 and wanted to come here last summer.

    Having said that, it’s almost certainly Record clickbait.

    Or play strong through the middle instead of trying to shoehorn non-wingers into playing wide hoping they’ll cross because crossing has been so productive for us?

    Sterling/Lundstram

    Diomande/Cantwell

    Silva/Dessers

    We have to accept the fact that we have no decent wide players.

    He’s no Danny Armstrong, that’s for sure

    If Yilmaz isn't available then Barisic. This wont be the team though.        

    We’ve all got two teams, the one we’d pick if it was up to us and the one we all know Clement will pick.

    Welcome to Rangers, Philippe Clement!

    Watershed summer coming up for Clement.

    He has worked wonders for some time with perennial duds but their true natures have re-emerged recently.

    He will now know who he can trust and who has to go and go ASAP.

    No money in January but he appeared to have pulled three rabbits out of the hat in Cortes, Diomande and a £35m player in Silva.

    First two signed on the never-never and will cost £6/7m but they look decent prospects. Silva can leave anytime.

    So whatever kitty there was going to be is down a fair whack already. However, the wages saved, even if you only count OOC players, will be significant if quality freebies can be found. And that’s before you try selling off the failures, although we’ll not get much for them, if anything.

    Complete overhaul, limited budget and he may have to consider anything over 10m for Butland to fund 2/3/4 recruits needed elsewhere.

    We’ll soon know just how good he is.

    I'm clearly missing something but I don't get what people are raving about. The words he says, when written down, read well but listening to him say them he sounds absolutely void of confidence and drive. Although maybe that's just his personality and beneath that he's raging.

    He's got me worried if that's an indication of the general atmosphere around the team.

    The key difference is the honesty of his words as opposed to the bland nothingness offered by others at the club.

    Personally, I’d build a team for next season around Butland, Yilmaz, Cortes (assuming that deal can be closed), Diomande and Sterling and give Dujon the armband.

    Caught a bit of this taking my grandson home from training and they played two interviews.

    One was Clement which most of us agree was all about protecting his players while there are still games to play.

    The other was Dujon Sterling being brutally honest about the last couple of games. He didn’t name names but he made it clear that, in his eyes, there was a shitload of underperforming going on.

    If anyone can find the clip (around 6.30ish) it’d be good to share it.

    He has become really important to us and his honesty was refreshing and a welcome change from the “we learn our lessons and move on” pish we normally get.

    Could become a major influence in future seasons, perhaps even a future captain if he impose himself more.

    Its down to the board not Clement

    If we don't have a pot to piss in we won't do a squad overhaul

    Not about money alone.

    By lunchtime, I could pick you a team from “average SPFL players” that we could pick up for buttons and who would walk all over our usual suspects.

    The effort shown by our opponents in the last 2 games says it all for me.
