Philippe Clement’s time at Rangers has come to an unexpected end after a series of disappointing results, including the defeat to St Mirren and the earlier losses in domestic cup competitions. With the team now 13 points behind Celtic in the league and their hopes for domestic silverware dashed, the decision to part ways with Clement makes sense from the club’s perspective, as they look to refocus their efforts.
Despite the challenges, Clement’s contributions during his 16 months at Rangers likely won’t be forgotten, and the club has acknowledged his hard work. However, with the stakes so high at Rangers, especially given their rivalry with Celtic, the pressure to succeed is immense. The Europa League run offers some hope for success, but domestic performances are clearly a priority for the club moving forward.
The question now will be who the club looks to as his replacement, as they’ll need someone capable of turning things around quickly, especially if they want to challenge Celtic for the title in the future. Any thoughts on potential candidates to take over?
