Alistair Bain has openly criticized Rangers manager Philippe Clement for blaming injuries on the team’s poor domestic performance. The Gers are preparing to face OGC Nice in the Europa League on 28 November.
During a pre-match press conference on 27 November, Clement mentioned fitness issues, including Rabbi Matondo, as a factor in their struggles. In response, football coach Alistair Bain disputed Clement’s claims, pointing out Matondo’s limited playing time and impact on the team.
Bain stated, “Matondo has only started 25 out of 65 games for Rangers, playing a full 90 minutes twice in three seasons. To suggest he has a significant impact is simply not realistic.”
Clement’s excuses for Rangers’ poor form have not gone unnoticed. With the team falling 11 points behind in the league, his coaching abilities are under scrutiny. Many Rangers fans are calling for his departure as he continues to make questionable decisions, such as favoring certain players like Cyriel Dessers over others like Ianis Hagi.
