Rangers midfielder Tom Lawrence has spoken up about his new role against St Mirren, calling it “enjoyable.”
Philippe Clement’s team secured a 2-0 victory at Ibrox, with Abdallah Sima netting twice. The 29-year-old midfielder, reflecting on his role, explained that he played slightly deeper than usual, a position he had experience with during his time at Derby. Despite the adjustment, he found it enjoyable and credited the manager for the strategic decision.
Expressing contentment, he mentioned, “The manager has been good with me about that. He is just trying to get me into a good rhythm, and I told him during the game that I felt in a good place.”
Since Lawrence’s arrival at Rangers in the summer of 2022, Clement is the third manager to take charge, and the player has developed a positive relationship with the new boss. Lawrence emphasized, “The gaffer has been really good with me in helping me to find the rhythm.”
“He has been really good at asking me how I am feeling. We always aim to have a high tempo in the game.
“I actually felt that we did it well on Sunday. “I don’t know how the manager saw it from the side, but he was happy in the changing room after the game, that’s the main thing.”
The Wales international has been ravaged with injuries since arriving in Glasgow. He recently attempted to return to the fold before suffering a setback.
However, he hopes that the worst of his problems are now behind him.
“I feel I am getting back to the top of my fitness and hopefully the performance showed that,” he added.
“I felt really good when I came back at first. Maybe the two games in such a short period didn’t help me out as such.
“But I feel back to my best now fitness wise and hopefully my quality shows through that.
“You can do all the training in the world – and let me tell you, the manager trains us hard – but it’s different to matches. ”
“Match fitness is completely different to training and that’s what I am trying to get in the bank.”
