They’ve found themselves miles off of Celtic in the Scottish Premiership and although they took a good fight to Brendan Rodgers’ men in the Scottish League Cup final last year, they still left Hampden Park without another trophy to add to their cabinet.The Gers have, however, managed to finish in the top eight of the Europa League group stage and are also set to face Queen’s Park in the fifth round of the Scottish Cup on Sunday.
The game on 9 February should be a walk in the park for Clement and his men, even if the likes of Bailey Rice and other youth gems start.As with all teams in the winter transfer window, a number of the Gers’ first-team players were linked with an Ibrox exit.Kieran Dowell and Rabbi Matondo are the biggest names to have exited Ibrox at the halfway point in the season but one rumour that wouldn’t go away was the sale of Cyriel Dessers.
The Nigeria international has been long-linked with an exit from Clement’s team but nothing has ever come to fruition.While one of the Gers’ main goals this season has been to cut down their wage bill, BBC Radio Scotland pundit Peter Grant believes they should be more focused on keeping their talent to win trophies, rather than selling them off.
