Philippe clement made Rangers transfer mistake twice with the same player this season

Rangers have been linked with several strikers over the years with Jonson Clarke-Harris being one of those said to be considered.

Scouts reporting back to Auchenhowie were keeping an eye on the Peterborough United attacker,

who was regarded as a potential understudy to Alfredo Morelos or a backup plan for then

-Gers manager Steven Gerrard.Out of contract in a matter of months,

moving from being linked with Rangers to not playing in League One will be a difficult pill to take for Jonson Clarke-Harris,

who was previously valued at £5 million.

Ex-Rangers target Jonson Clarke-Harris is fighting for game time.

He turns 30 in the summer and is unlikely to be pursued by top-tier Championship clubs such as Rangers.

To make matters worse, he’s only started once this season.

Not exactly the way to attract potential suitors or get one more huge payday.

Clarke-Harris was a 25-goal striker in his prime,

the type of finisher that most clubs would love to have on their roster.

Gerrard would be searching for a natural to potentially replace Jermain Defoe,

but £5 million was more than we paid for players like Cedric Itten and Kemar Roofe,

who had established themselves at a higher level.

Surprisingly, teams outside Scotland’s top two have not considered handing JCH a contract.

It would probably be his last chance to play European football and win a trophy.

Consider Hearts as an example.

Jonson Clarke-Harris plays in a similar style to Lawrence Shankland in that he will never outskill or outpace players,

but he understands where the goals are.

Shankland, with only a year on his contract,

could still earn a few million for Hearts while being replaced in terms of output for next to nothing.

The Rangers-linked Scotland international is having the best season of his life,

but even he admits that scoring from 20-30 yards every other week is not sustainable.

His stock will never rise, unlike Jonson Clarke-Harris,

who will most likely wish for Rangers scouts to return to the Weston Homes Stadium.
