Journalist Calum Crowe believes Philippe Clement is “finished” at Rangers but may be saved from being sacked by the uncertainty in the boardroom at Ibrox.
The Gers suffered a huge blow against Aberdeen on Wednesday (30 October), losing 2-1 leaves them nine points adrift of the top two in the Scottish Premiership which has piled pressure on the manager.
Writing for the Scottish Daily Mail on 1 November(page 83), Crowe has suggested that the Belgian is done at Ibrox but will keep hold of his job due to John Gilligan being in interim charge.
He said: “This isn’t a team of young kids, despite Clement’s claims to the contrary. His excuse about them being a new group won’t wash either. We are now in November and Rangers are showing no tangible signs of progress.
“If anything, they are regressing further. Clement is clutching at straws. To all intents and purposes, he’s finished as Rangers manager. The only saving grace may be the fact there is nobody above him at executive level to pull the trigger.”
Philippe Clement may be done at Rangers
The 50-year-old has had some struggles at Ibrox since taking over from Michael Beale in October 2023 but it is as bad as it could possibly be right now.
Against the Dons at Pittodrie, a win was needed to keep up with the top two in the title race in a gap which already was sitting at six points.
