Clement rightly pointed out it's happened before after being asked the question following Scottish Cup shock against Queen's Park
Despite overseeing Rangers' first EVER Scottish Cup home defeat to lower league opposition and blowing their chances of lifting a trophy this season, Philippe Clement doesn't believe he'll be sacked.
A shock Scottish Cup defeat to Berwick Rangers that January was a blot on Symon;s copybook however, and he left Ibrox on 1 November 1967. Waddell did survive that season however, and claimed the League Cup in 1971. However, Celtic were champions once again and League Cup winners again. In 1971/72, it was a similar story, except Celtic surrendered the League Cup to Partick Thistle whilst reclaiming the Scottish Cup and the title. Waddell was "moved up stairs' to general manager at the end of the season, avoiding the sack after a second trophyless season in three, with Jock Wallace taking over.
John Greig - 1979-80 Greig took over from Wallace on the back of a glittering career as Rangers captain. However, that didn't transfer to the dugout. Rangers finished as low as 6th in the Premier Division in 1979/80, eight points behind Celtic, with the Hoops lifting the Scottish Cup, Aberdeen the league championship and the League Cup going to Dundee United.
That summer had seen a number of big names depart as the club's financial state started to hit home. Celtic won the league at a canter, and made it a double by beating Dunfermline in the Scottish Cup final, with Livingston lifting the League Cup. Circumstances and his track record meant McLeish's job was safe over the summer, and he repaid that faith by clinching a dramatic title win on the final day the following season.
