Philippe Clement has revealed his constant communication with Rangers transfer guru Nils Koppen.
The Ibrox club are looking to recruit this month in a bid to strengthen their squad with the club fighting it out on all fronts in the Scottish Premiership, Scottish Cup and Europa League.
Rangers have already added attacker Fabio Silva this window and they also look set to add Ivory Coast international Mohamed Diomande later this week.
Clement is still looking for a striker this window, but he is relaxed as the club head into the final week of January, especially with the help of director of football Koppen.
He explained: "It has been really busy. If I get a message or a call, my wife already knows who it is. It is good that it is Nils and not somebody else so that is a positive thing! It has been good.
"He is super determined, hard working day and night together with all his team. It is the same with me, OK I am always the spokesman about everything but I don’t do everything myself in this building.
"I have a great staff doing a lot of things for me and it is the same with Nils. He is happy also about the people who were in the building and how they are helping, the scouts, the analysts and everybody.
"We are discussing all the developments between us but always together with the board, with Creag, with James, with the chairman and the board and the investors. It is with everyone together.
"There is a lot of contact. That is what I like, I like to be involved and know everything that is going on. Is it going in a positive way or is it difficult and why? I like to have all the information, like I want all the information about the players here. I like to have a lot of information so I can make the right decisions."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
