The last two seasons have brought something of an overhaul of the Rangers squad as former managers Steven Gerrard, Giovanni van Bronkhorst and Michael Beale all looked to make an impact at Ibrox with varying levels of success.
New boss Philippe Clement will be hoping to build on their work after taking over last month and he is sure to want to bring in his own players over the coming transfer windows. But could the Belgian benefit from some of the transfer business conducted by his predecessors? We take to Football Manager 2024 to see what could lie ahead.
The latest version of the game will officially launch on November 6, 2023. However, you can gain early access to the PC/Mac version now if you pre-order the game on Steam.
Here, using the 2024 version of Football Manager, we take a look at the interesting payment plans and sell-on clauses inserted into the transfer deals and contracts of these current and former Rangers players according to the world’s most popular management simulation.
