Wipe off the excess wood glue after the clamps are in place and before the glue starts to set. Use wood glue because other glues might ruin the finish if extra seeps out. After the glue is dry, remove the clamps and use a matching wood finish pen (like a magic marker) to cover any remaining marks.
Now don't expect perfect results, but it will be better than what you have now.
