Rangers manager Philippe Clement is feeling the heat from his own fans following a disappointing 1-0 loss to Kilmarnock that put a dent in their hopes for the title. After Celtic and Aberdeen drew on Saturday, Rangers had a chance to close the gap to just three points at the top of the Premiership. However, the defeat has left them six points behind, and fans are becoming increasingly frustrated with the situation.
Although the Rangers board has shown support for Clement, the fans are not so forgiving. Many are calling for a change after a string of poor performances and setbacks. Despite a strong start to his tenure with a League Cup final win and an unbeaten run, recent results have been less than impressive.
With only nine wins in his last 18 league matches, Clement’s future is uncertain, with bookmakers setting odds on his sacking before Christmas. Even former Celtic striker Chris Sutton believes that Clement could be out before Halloween if he doesn’t turn things around quickly.
Upcoming matches against Steaua Bucharest and St Mirren will provide a test for Clement, but the real challenge will come when they face Aberdeen. If Rangers lose and the gap widens to nine points, it could be the breaking point for Clement and the end of his tenure at Ibrox.
