Rangers have been left to pick the bones out of what has ultimately been another hugely disappointing and unsettled season.
Managerial change occurred once again early in the campaign after Michael Beale’s summer rebuild quickly turned sour, with the majority of players recruited last summer failing to live up to expectations and an early Champions League exit failing to lift the mood around the club’s fanbase.
Philippe Clement was the man appointed to sort out the mess. Initially, the Belgian got a positive response from the players he inherited by securing the League Cup within two months of his arrival and reaching the Europa League knockout stages. However, after putting themselves in pole position in the Premiership title race - largely due to Celtic’s sticky run of form - the Light Blues crumbled under the pressure.
Costly league defeats, both at home and on their travels, and Scottish Cup final heartbreak on Saturday meant the Gers added just one piece of silverware to the trophy cabinet. Attentions now turn to next season at Ibrox, where vast improvements will be required from what is expected to be a new-look squad, with Clement ready to carry out another major overhaul.
Glasgow World has ranked 36 senior players and stars who have played a part in the Rangers story this season. Some were shipped out on loan in the January transfer window, some are youth products. Here’s how the players rated.
13. DEF: Robbie Fraser
N/A - Two first-team appearances, including a productive run out against Hearts at Tynecastle following his impressive cameo just days earlier versus Dundee. Will hope to earn more opportunities under Clement next season. | SNS Group
14. DEF/MID: Dujon Sterling
8/10 - A proper workhorse. Had to bide his time under Beale but eventually managed to force his way into the team and Clement is a huge fan of his attributes. Mr versatile who has filled almost every position on the park this season. Also willing to throw his body on the line. A top player. | SNS Group
15. MID: John Lundstram
5/10 - After his red card against Celtic at Parkhead, the vast majority of supporters will be happy to see the back of him. Has blown hot and cold under Clement at times this season. Almost certain to be leaving the club this summer. | SNS Group
16. MID: Ryan Jack
3/10 - General consensus is that his time at Ibrox is up. Far too injury prone and not someone that Clement can rely on going forward. Has been a good servant over the years, but has had limited impact this term. | SNS Group
