Philippe Clement's position as Rangers manager is increasingly uncertain as his team struggles in domestic competitions. Following a series of disappointing results, pressure mounts on Clement to deliver.
With every day and each passing game, it does feel as if we’re moving rapidly towards the crux of the matter where Philippe Clement ’s rocky relationship with Rangers is concerned. So, when he takes his team to Tayside on Thursday night, there will be very little left in the way of wriggle room for a man who has been battling to hold onto his credibility for most of these last 12 months, which must be beginning to feel like an eternity. He went into 2024 on the back of a beating from Celtic.
He started 2025 by notching up his first ever win against Brendan Rodgers’ side, albeit at the seventh attempt in 12 months. That rampant 3-0 victory on January 2 came largely out of the blue but, on the back of a titanic Premier Sports Cup Final tussle with the champions at Hampden last month, it was just about enough to steady Clement’s ship heading into the second half of a tumultuous campaign. But it was followed up by two further dropped points at Easter Road and further confirmation that the accident prone Belgian can’t be trusted to keep his hands on the wheel whenever he takes his team on its domestic travels. They’ve been clattering calamitously around the country since the start of the season, leaving 18 points at the roadside and if this trend continues at Dundee’s Dens Park then, not for the first time in these last few weeks, all eyes will be fixed once more on the office of new CEO Patrick Stewart. Ultimately, the former Manchester United heavyweight is the man whose opinion will supersede all others when it comes to what ought to be done with regards to Clement’s short to mid term employment status. And it’s nearly impossible to imagine that he’s not been giving this matter a great deal of thought ever since walking into the post. It was widely suspected that he chose to clock on for his first day 24 hours after that Hampden showpiece and at the end of a week which also saw Clement come up against Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs in the Europa Leagu
