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.
29. FOR: Rabbi Matondo
5/10 - Will be left to reflect on a season full of highs and lows. Endured a tough time with injuries but also popped up with some key moments at crucial times. The type of impact sub Clement will be keen to retain. | SNS Group
30. FOR: Abdallah Sima
7/10 - Had he steered clear of a lengthy injury absence early in the New Year, the Brighton loanee could potentially have scored higher. Made an excellent contribution during the first half of the campaign, but the second half has been slightly frustrating. 16 goals in 38 appearances is not to be sniffed at and a player Rangers would surely be open to signing permanently if the funds are made available. | SNS Group
31. FOR: Scott Wright
4/10 - Hampden specialist who always gives his all for the cause but will feel he should've done much better in the build up to Celtic's cup final winning goal. Largely a fringe man under Clement, who supporters don't have a lot of faith in. | SNS Group
32. FOR: Ross McCausland
6/10 - Still has plenty to learn but he's a very promising talent who will only improve with more game regular game time. Can be pleased with his overall contribution, proving particularly effective off the bench. Brings great energy and drive. | SNS Group
