Did Philippe Clement just allude to Lawrence Shankland joining the Rangers for the summer?

Did Rangers boss Philippe Clement recently allude to a summer signing for Hearts star Lawrence Shankland? Clement has been hinting at further domestic transfer business.

The Rangers squad defeated Hibs 2-0 while playing for the Scottish Cup, and the Belgian manager was speaking after the match. Hampden is now waiting.

However, given the growing injury list and the Rangers’ limited options, especially in forward areas, each week, the outcome might come at a price.

Dujon Sterling and Ross McCausland of the Rangers were outstanding throughout the game at Easter Road, but Ryan Jack’s chances of winning the Ibrox are in jeopardy due to yet another injury.

Rangers manager on a domestic need
The imbalance of homegrown players in the team has put strain on Rangers’ European squad, which is naturally three players short of a full 25.

Philippe Clement recently made a suggestion that the team might try to address that predicament by either bringing in players or developing them internally.

“Winning every game, or trying to win every game, is the first thing,” Clement declared. That’s what I want.

However, it’s equally critical to me to help young athletes advance by giving them opportunities and allowing them to mature. Additionally, it’s critical for Scottish football that we provide young players with opportunities so they can develop.

We also need to investigate that for our European team, as we are missing a few players due to the insufficient number of Scottish players on the roster.

Or we might need to use our money for other purposes even though we must buy it. Or, in the upcoming years, we will have to construct them ourselves.

“Getting players out of the Academy who can develop into Rangers first XI players is one of my other goals.”

Is Lawrence Shankland being watched by Philippe Clement?
When it comes to Rangers, it’s obvious that Philippe Clement has one eye on the Scottish talent pool, therefore Lawrence Shankland will definitely come into his line of sight.

With a whopping 27 goals this season, Philippe Clement would have a homegrown option in the talismanic Hearts striker.

Strong ties were made in January, therefore it’s possible that the Rangers manager was alluding to Hearts’ nearly £5 million January asking price when he made his “money” joke.

However, there aren’t many better strikers in the Scottish Premiership than Lawrence Shankland, who will enter his final year of contract this summer.

We’d be shocked if Rangers weren’t keeping a careful eye on the striker, and Philippe Clement’s remarks serve as more confirmation that the team is aware of Lawrence Shankland.

Nick Montgomery, the manager of Hibs, has lamented the refereeing team’s “bad decisions” after their Scottish Cup loss to Rangers.

The 42-year-old Englishman specifically mentioned two calls that, in his opinion, altered the outcome of the game at Easter Road.

With goals from John Lundstram and Fabio Silva, the Gers won the match 2-0 and secured a date at Hampden.

However, there were a number of significant officiating problems during the game, including two red cards and a penalty that infuriated Michael Stewart.

Nick Montgomery is upset about the Rangers’ penalty call.
Nick Montgomery has voiced his displeasure that Rangers received a penalty kick even though he believed Martin Boyle had committed a foul during the build-up.

The irate Hibs boss berated a lack of “consistency” and brought up an analogous event that occurred a few weeks prior against Celtic.

Montgomery remarked, “I thought some bad decisions there.” “I’ll have to review them again, but from viewing it in real time, I’m not sure how Martin Boyle’s foul did not result in their penalty.

“I was really taken aback by that one and felt annoyed.” We had a similar incident against Celtic, and Martin Boyle was booked for it. Today, we were awarded a penalty.

“I’m not saying there’s no penalty; rather, what’s frustrating is the consistency of the decisions.”

Hibs manager bemoans Scottish Cup red card
The Hibs midfielder Nathan Moriah-Welsh’s red card incident has also been discussed by the Hibs management.

Three minutes after Jordan Obita’s dismissal, the Bournemouth loanee was sent out for a lunge into John Lundstram that resulted in a straight red card.

Nick Montgomery has expressed doubts about the choice, even acknowledging that his Hibs club lost to a “very, very good” Rangers squad.

Nathan is 21 years old, “young Nathan,” Montgomery remarked. “He’s going to block a ball down the line, again. There didn’t seem to be a contract,” I said.

“This card is yellow. It surprises me that he chose not to examine the VAR monitor directly.

The Scottish Cup semi-finals now feature Rangers, Celtic, and Aberdeen. The draw will take place tomorrow following Hearts’ trip to Greenock Morton.

Ryan has been confirmed by Philippe Clement. Jack sustained an injury during Rangers’ midweek match against Benfica while providing press updates on Ross McCausland and Dujon Sterling.

The manager of Rangers was speaking following the team’s Scottish Cup victory over Hibs, where points were earned thanks to goals from Fabio Silva and John Lundstram.

However, injuries to Dujon Sterling, who replaced Ross McCausland in the first half before the Northern Irishman made way for himself in the second, cast a shadow over the game.

In a serious setback to Ryan Jack’s ambitions of securing a new contract, the Rangers manager was also questioned about the midfielder’s latest ailment.

Update from Ross McCausland and Dujon Sterling
Stretched to the breaking point, Rangers manager Clement began with the same players that managed a 2-2 draw in Lisbon against Benfica.
