Rangers have hit gold with Giovanni van Bronckhorst signing

This summer, Philippe Clement, the manager of Glasgow Rangers, has done a decent job of managing transfers, bringing down the average age of the first team roster at Ibrox. After their contracts expired at the end of the previous season, Ryan Jack, Borna Barisic, Kemar Roofe, John Lundstram, and Jon McLaughlin all left the Rangers. The average age of the quintet was thirty-two, and it was obvious that letting them go would free up funds for new hires.

Since then, Clement has signed seven players, all of them are under the age of 23, with the exception of Liam Kelly. This indicates how much he values developing young players ahead of the current season.If the Belgian manager can help them continue to grow, players like Clinton Nsiala, Jefte, and Hamza Igamane all appear to have promising futures in the game. Given that Connor Barron’s profile is a fantastic fit for Rangers, his signing could end up being one of the Light Blues’ most stunning transactions this summer.

What Barron could offer Rangers next season
The former Aberdeen midfielder had been linked with a move to the Ibrox side as far back as January this year, although Clement would surely have been keeping an eye on the player’s contract situation after a few weeks in the hot seat.With the rumour mill circling once the 2023/24 season finished, it looked as though the Gers were going to miss out on Barron, as Swansea City were showing interest, along with a few Serie A sides.

The bulk of the Ibrox supporters were obviously wondering when a deal would materialize, and after weeks of rumors, Clement finally confirmed the signing of the Scottish midfielder in what was perhaps the most obvious piece of transfer business the club could accomplish this summer. The 21-year-old didn’t establish himself as a regular starter in the starting lineup until the previous season, when he made his Premiership debut for the Dons during the 2021–2022 campaign.

In the summer of 2022, Van Bronckhorst embarked on his first summer transfer window in charge of the Ibrox side, eventually signing no fewer than seven players, with Tom Lawrence among them.

The Welshman arrived on a free transfer from Derby County, where he registered 62 goal contributions – 37 goals and 25 assists – in 185 games for the Rams, becoming one of the most dangerous players in the Championship in the process.
It appeared as though he may provide some much-needed originality to a team that suffered domestically in the second half of the 2021–2022 season, but he only made nine appearances in the whole campaign due to injury issues.
