The Ibrox manager feels his side can improve fitness levels with a more individualised training programme.
Rangers' injury problems have been instrumental in costing the last two managers their jobs so it's no surprise a chunk of new manager Philippe Clement's early work has been investigating a costly problem. Insiders in the Ibrox club estimate that around £25m of wages were paid out to unfit players last term and their new manager hasn't taken long to spot the issue.
While Rangers will remain training as a group, they will also be much more focused on individual physical targets. While careful not to fall into the trap of criticising the former incumbent, it's certain Clement feels he can get more out of the group. “At the mediocre level they will be challenged and they will grow a bit but at the lowest level they will be challenged too much and become injured again or break.
He said: “It gives so much energy. I had it in my playing days. If you’re on the pitch and feel all this enthusiasm, all this energy, all these bursts of people behind you, you become invincible. You become so strong, you get so much energy.
