Smith: Le Guen keen to sign much-wanted Clement

Dunfermline 0 Rangers 1

But he insists the absence of the 22-year-old from yesterday’s 1-0 Bank of Scotland Premier League win at Dunfermline had nothing to do with him wanting to quit Ibrox after just seven months.

Clement has spoken of his desire to return to his native France following the departure of previous boss, Paul Le Guen. Le Guen, now manager of Paris St Germain, has confirmed his interest in joining forces with the youngster again, after bringing him to Rangers for £1.2m in the summer.
