Success for a Rangers manager at this point would be to routinely win against the wee teams and at least put in competitive performances against Celtic even if we lose more than we win. No expectation to be winning the league any time soon given Celtic's strength, but we at least need to show we can leverage our relative strength against the other 10 teams to guarantee wins most weeks. It's not the games against Celtic or lack of trophies that got Phil sacked, it's the record against the diddies.

Heard folk saying that Clement wasnt the problem, he's a good manager, his style and tactics work in Europe, but don't in Scotland

Trying to tell me that a guy that can mastermind wins away to Betis and Nice, draw with Spurs, come within a few minutes of getting a draw at Old Trafford....that same manager cannie, literally cannie fathom out how to change his team to beat St Mirren and Queens Park???

Don't talk so much $hite

New management team at Ibrox

To be perfectly honest, wasn't expecting much else

Short term, stop gap, see us through to the summer when we can get a proper team in place

Should be relatively cheap too....and keeps the staunch mob happy

Not expecting some major turnaround in our form, but would like to think they won't let us slip any further

Players dont need motivated for some games...but they do for others

Man Utd, Tottenham, Celtic, must win European matches.....kinda games where the players we have will be up for it, will see it as an opportunity to out themselves in the shower window etc...

St Mirren, Killie, Ross County, Queens Park....kinda games where players are turning up thinking they can do the bare minimum and get the result, not up for it, half ersed, scottish backwater stuff

It's in these games that your manager earns his crust, ensuring his players put in the same effort week in, week out no matter who the opposition is, what the game means etc.

Clement for me wasn't doing that, for me that totally explained the the away form, and the same mentality was now creeping in at home games

As WPP said....it's not the big games that have cost Phil his job, it's the matches against the also rans that have been his downfall

Players obviously need to take a huge chunk of responsibility too

cos he couldnt figure out how to beat the low block. Its certainly not one of his strengths. Plenty other top managers have shown they aint the most adapatable.

Much better at dealing with teams that dont play such a low defensive line.

We seem more comfortable and dangerous in games the opposition has more possession. we seem like a good pressing team and couldnt deal with teams that just by pass pressing by hitting the channels

There being unable to beat the low block....and there's losing to the low block time and again

It's hard for me to listen to people who really believe that Clement could not figure out how to beat a team like Queens Park...at Ibrox...with the lying share of possession and 28 shots at goal

The players were not up for it, bloody half ersed....and the management team didn't prioritise getting an additional striker in, either in the summer window or the winter window, despite our clear need for it

Wasn't he told there was no money for players and thats why he got an extension to keep quiet?

Bajrami
Propper
Jefte
Igamane
Kasanwirjo
Cerny
Cortes
Nsiala
Barron
Kelly
The money was there

The two positions we really needed to look at were centre half and striker

We brought in 2 CBs and a RB that could also play at centre half....so effectively 3 players for that position

For striker....we bought in one guy who was a complete unknown qty, and who wasn't up to speed to play untill about 3 months into the season

Brilliant

Happy to see Barry get an opportunity.

My favourite player growing up, not sure he'll quite have what it takes but it's effectively a free hit for him.

Good to see him back at Ibrox. Hope it works out.

It’s like us appointing Peter Grant, Aiden McGeady, Arthur Boruc and Charlie Nic

Thankfully Ferguson will only be in place short term.

Most likely rules out any chance Fenerbahce sadly

Last week Celtic were getting called out for only drawing against a terrible Bayern Munich team in the CL.
But we are now rewriting history crediting Big Phil for his European “performances”
Nice were a shambles of a team (in crisis)
The Man Utd Manager has called them the worst team in history (in crisis)
Spurs are “spursy” at the best of times (in crisis)

A couple of decent results, but let’s not kid ourselves on Clement mastered Europe 🫣

We only had 9 shots on target though.

Right there tells you a lot that is wrong with this Rangers team.

1. Not enough real quality up top.

Igamane has been quieter in recent weeks but he has largely been shifted to the ten or wide left position.

Dessers is a clown who is sometimes brilliant.

Danillo is injured.

2. Our defence is weak as pash.

As soon as QP got their corner you think 'here we go'. Guys like Propper and Nsiala arent defenders who will protect the goal with everything they have. They are footballers who play at the back.

This is the easiest bullied Rangers team I have seen.

Clement has to take a massive share of the blame for me. The team dont look like a confident, well coached, organised team hungry for the win when they go out on the pitch.

That is Clements fault. 100%.

Clement should have been no more than 6 points behind celtic and still in the cup with the resources he had.
