Rangers Sources: Big philippe Clement sack update today

Philippe Clement’s future as Rangers manager is under increasing scrutiny, but the Belgian coach is expected to remain in charge until at least the Scottish League Cup final against Celtic on December 15, 2024, according to sources.

This decision aligns with the arrival of the club’s new CEO, Patrick Stewart, a former Manchester United executive, who will officially join Rangers the day after the final.

The outcome of the match could play a pivotal role in determining Clement’s future at Ibrox.

Despite his team’s disappointing performance in the Scottish Premiership, Clement’s job has not yet been in immediate jeopardy.

Rangers were fortunate to salvage a draw on November 23, 2024, against Dundee United, with Vaclav Cerny scoring a late equalizer.

However, the team’s poor form this season, coupled with their current 11-point deficit behind rivals Celtic, has put mounting pressure on Clement.

The upcoming cup final against Celtic could be a make-or-break moment for him.

Clement, who signed a new four-year deal with Rangers in the off-season after winning the Scottish League Cup last year, still has the opportunity to secure another trophy this season.

However, a poor showing in the final could lead to his departure. Meanwhile, speculation has also linked Clement to the Belgium national team job, adding further uncertainty to his future with Rangers.

While Clement has led Rangers to a strong position in the Europa League, where they are on track to qualify for the knockout stages, his league performance remains a concern.

With the new CEO set to assess the team’s progress after the cup final, the coming weeks will be critical for the Belgian manager.

As the club looks ahead to January, there are also reports that Rangers are exploring potential loan signings to strengthen their squad for the remainder of the season. Whether Clement can hold onto his position will likely depend on his team’s performance in the upcoming high-stakes matches.
