Rangers manager Philippe Clement is on the verge of losing his job as the club braces for a crucial match against Hearts at Tynecastle. The Belgian coach is facing immense scrutiny following a season that has been nothing short of disastrous, with Rangers struggling to find success on multiple fronts.
This campaign has been particularly painful for Rangers fans, as the club risks finishing the season without a single trophy. Their Scottish Cup dreams were crushed after a shocking 1-0 defeat to Queen’s Park, while their League Cup aspirations also ended in disappointment when Celtic secured the title. These setbacks, combined with poor league performances, have only intensified the calls for Clement’s dismissal.
The situation in the Scottish Premiership further compounds Clement’s troubles, with Rangers trailing by a daunting 13 points. As the gap widens, faith in his leadership is rapidly diminishing. The club’s inability to challenge for top honors has left supporters frustrated, and the pressure from the boardroom is mounting.
With Sunday’s fixture against Hearts looming, Clement finds himself in a precarious position. Reports from the Daily Record (15 February, back page) suggest that the Rangers boss is “clinging to his job by his fingertips,” highlighting the precarious nature of his tenure. A poor result at Tynecastle could be the final straw that forces the club to make a change at the helm.
As the tension escalates, all eyes will be on how Rangers perform in their upcoming match. Clement’s future hangs in the balance, and unless his team can turn things around, his time at Ibrox may be coming to an end sooner rather than later.
