Philippe Clement’s future at Rangers has been a hot topic throughout the 2024/25 Scottish Premiership season.
The Gers have been utterly inconsistent this season, putting up some truly outstanding performances in the Europa League but falling far short in the league.
The true troubles are away from Ibrox, as they have only dropped two points at home, and their road sickness has left them 13 points behind rivals Celtic.
Despite the numerous defeats this season, Clement has managed to maintain his position as manager at Ibrox.
There have been accusations that Rangers just cannot afford to fire Clement, but a recent development suggests they may not have to.
Philippe Clement might depart Rangers as Belgium sacks Tedesco.
Indeed, it is sack news from somewhere that makes it such. The Belgium national team revealed today that Domenic Tedesco, who has long been under pressure, will step down as head coach.
Clement had already been regarded as a top possibility to succeed Tedesco (Daily Record), and the timing could not be more perfect.
Belgium needs a new manager, and Rangers need a cost-effective solution to get the 50-year-old out of Ibrox. Call it putting two and two together to get five if you like, but the dominoes appear to be falling, making Clement’s departure inevitable.
The stars have aligned, and long-suffering Gers fans may finally get their desire for Clement to leave, albeit not in the way they expected.
