Two Rangers players said that they had played their final Premiership game against Celtic in anticipation of the Ibrox clearout.

A former Rangers striker thinks that following their most recent Old Firm loss, his former team has to make a major player exit during the summer transfer window. After Rangers’ most recent Old Firm loss, Kris Boyd has spearheaded calls for a “fresh start” at Ibrox next season, announcing that the majority of Philippe Clement’s team will not face Celtic again. Another depressing afternoon at Parkhead left the Light Blues nursing their wounds after a 2-1 loss to the current champions led by Brendan Rodgers all but ended their ambitions of winning the championship for another year.

And infuriated former Glasgow goalscorer Boyd believes that if Clement’s former team wants to ultimately stop Celtic from retaining their derby day supremacy in Glasgow, he will have to spearhead a summer player purge.

He acknowledged, “This was the same team that has been under-performing,” in a Sky Sports interview. In a few weeks, you have a cup final. Philippe Clement is very important to the team because he has now lost a few Old Firm games.

When the new season begins, you’re back here at Celtic Park. The reason the Scottish Cup Final is so important now is that you don’t want people to say, three, four, or five Old Firm games later, that Philippe Clement has lost. “To be honest, while there is a Scottish Cup final in a few weeks, a lot of these guys’ league matches against Celtic will be their last ones. Clearing things out and starting again are necessary.

In the coming weeks, some players, according to Philippe Clement, may be able to alter his mind, but it will be extremely challenging. Taking a look at it, Lundstram and Barisic will depart, along with a few others.

You only need to look at Rangers when they are reduced to 10 men to understand that Philippe Clement will undoubtedly try to spin and deal to try to get his kind of guys in. Pace is a great tool for hurting teams, but this Rangers club doesn’t really possess much of it. Thus, a large number of reinforcements must be arriving this summer.
