New Norwich boss Philippe Clement<\/a> is looking forward to working with Kenny McLean at last \u2013 after revealing Rangers DID try to sign him while he was at the club.<\/p>\n The playmaker is in the headlines after his stunning strike from the halfway line to seal Scotland’s spot at the World Cup<\/a> but now he’s back at his club Norwich as they get to work under Clement.<\/p>\n The Belgian was appointed to replace sacked Liam Manning after their disastrous start to the campaign and will see captain McLean<\/a> as a key part of his side.<\/p>\n McLean is known to be a Rangers<\/a> fan and was heavily linked with the club during Clement’s first summer in charge in 2024.<\/p>\n It ultimately came to nothing with McLean knuckling down at Norwich, where he’s now into his eighth season and serves as the skipper.<\/p>\n Clement, speaking in his first press conference, has revealed there was concrete interest from Ibrox while he was the manager \u2013 but they were unable to get a deal done.<\/p>\n Sign up to our Record Rangers newsletter Get all the latest Rangers news sent straight to your Inbox every day by signing up to our newsletter.<\/p>\n We cover every morsel of information regarding your favourite club in the form of articles, videos and podcasts<\/a>.<\/p>\n The newsletter will arrive every day at 12pm, giving you a round up of the best stories we’ve covered that in the last 24 hours.<\/p>\n To sign up, simply enter your email address into the link here<\/a>.<\/p>\n And if you aren’t already, make sure you join the conversation over on our Rangers Facebook group<\/a> and Record Sport Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n He told BBC Radio Norfolk: “I know a few Norwich players.
