The Belgian must understand you can lose a dressing room but you cannot lose a city
Rangers’ manager Philippe Clement is scheduled to hold a club-organised question-and-answer session for charitable purposes on Tuesday night in the aftermath of his fifth Old Firm derby without a win. The irony being that the event comes at a time when the answers he has given to the questions about losing to Celtic last Sunday have already outraged the Ibrox support. Pre-publicity for the fans gathering states that Clement will, among other topics, discuss his: “Aspirations for this season.
But if you lose a city, then you’re done for and nothing will save you. The green half of Glasgow is laughing at Clement and the blue half has been plunged into a state of acute depression because of him. I wrote here, following the exit from the Champions League qualifier against Dynamo Kyiv at Hampden, that Rangers’ situation was worse than the events surrounding administration and liquidation in 2012 because there was now emotional, as opposed to financial, bankruptcy. I would say I have been proved to be correct.
Rangers’ next game is at Tannadice, where they won Nine-in-a-row, and gained immortality in 1997. When they go there next Sunday it is about salvaging credibility in the eyes of a support who have started to lose belief in the team and the manager.
