Tom Lawrence could emerge as an unexpected success story for Rangers under Philippe Clement’s management, and his resurgence must continue in the upcoming match against Aberdeen on Sunday. Since Clement’s appointment in early October, Rangers have been in excellent form, winning six out of seven games and securing five consecutive victories in the Scottish Premiership.
Lawrence, who suffered an injury setback against Real Betis in September, missed games until early November. Despite starting only two Scottish Premiership games this season, Lawrence has taken on new responsibilities under Clement, showcasing creativity and potential in recent displays.
BBC Sportscene pundit Mark Wilson has suggested that Lawrence could be a “huge” asset for Rangers if he can maintain his fitness. Former Rangers player Kenny Miller also believes that Clement sees Lawrence as an unlikely star and wants him to be a key player in the team.
In his four league appearances this season, Lawrence has demonstrated promising statistics, completing 100% of his attempted dribbles, drawing fouls, and averaging 1.8 key passes per game. His last performance against Livingston showcased his attacking influence, providing five key passes, one assist, and completing 100% of his dribbles.
Lawrence’s ability to find space in different areas of the pitch, including the middle third and half-spaces, makes him a valuable asset for Clement’s attacking strategy. His creativity and impact in the final third, creating chances and delivering dangerous crosses, highlight his potential importance to the team.
Despite facing injuries in his Rangers career, Lawrence’s return has been impressive under Clement’s management. The match against Aberdeen presents an opportunity for Lawrence to solidify his role in the team and continue making a positive impact. Deploying him in strategic positions, such as the half-spaces, could unlock his full attacking potential and contribute to Rangers’ success under Clement.
