When Rangers play St. Mirren on Boxing Day, Philippe Clement is forced to bench Jefte.
Although it wasn’t the finest of performances, the Brazilian left-back started in the 1-0 victory over Dundee on December 21.
Ridvan Yilmaz should be given the opportunity to start since he needs consistent playing time, and the match on December 26 at Paisley feels like the perfect match for him.
Rangers defeated Dundee at Ibrox despite Jefte’s struggles.
According to Sofascore, Jefte misplaced the ball an incredible 17 times against Dundee, which would not have pleased Clement.
Additionally, he lost six of the nine ground duels he attempted, demonstrating his incapacity to exert dominance while not in possession.
Additionally, the 21-year-old lost half of his aerial duels, indicating that he lacked aerial dominance and was therefore a defensive liability.
Additionally, he could only execute one of his four long passes and his crossing was not particularly outstanding.
Jefte’s performance is obviously lacking for a team that controls the ball and positions its full-backs for attack.
He also had trouble against Celtic in the Scottish League Cup final, which is a warning that Clement should bench him.
