Wasted £6.4 million and counting: Rangers need to let go of a loser who makes more money than Cantwell

Under Philippe Clement, Glasgow Rangers’ comeback has been nothing short of spectacular. Their most recent 2-2 draw in the first leg

of the Europa League last-16 against Benfica demonstrated how far they have progressed since the Belgian took over.

The Light Blues would have lost the game under Michael Beale, but in recent months, the team has adopted a never-say-die attitude.

he result in Lisbon came despite Rangers missing four wingers, meaning Clement had to rejig his starting XI, yet they head into the

second leg with an excellent chance of progression to the quarter-finals.

This transformation over the previous six months from a club on its knees to one that can potentially win three trophies has been

incredible, especially considering the squad the 49-year-old coach has inherited.

A number of players fall short of the necessary standards, and some of them—defender Ben Davies foremost among them—are paid

absurdly exorbitant salaries.

Furthermore, the former center back for Liverpool is making more money than a number of well-known first team players,

like Todd Cantwell.

Ben Davies’s salary at Rangers

In the summer transfer window of 2022, Giovanni van Bronckhorst signed Davies to the Light Blues for a reported £4 million in an

effort to strengthen his defense in time for the next campaign.

In addition, the 28-year-old received a weekly salary of £27k, making him one of the highest paid players at the team.

Since the transfer has not gone as planned, Clement may decide to let him go this summer in order to earn money for other goals.

Rangers statistics for Ben Davies

Davies played 38 appearances in all competitions during his first season at Ibrox, but he struggled with injuries in the early going and

only started 11 games until Van Bronckhorst was fired in November 2022.

The Gers gave up 12 goals during his three games in the Champions League. Davies finished in the squad’s pitiful 14th place for tackles

per game (one), sixth for possession lost per game (10.3), and 18th for average Sofascore rating (6.23).
