Former Rangers striker Kris Boyd says that Philippe Clement today deserves a criticism that moves its way and does not believe that the light blues will improve under the relaxed Belgian.
Rangers crashed from the Scottish Cup yesterday after losing 1-0 at Ibrox at the Queen’s Park Championship when the club lost a home relationship with a team from a lower league in its 153-year history.
This marked a new low for Clement, whose side sits 13 points behind Celtic in the Scottish Premiership.

Ibrox anger as richens are uncomfortable
The defeat welcomed the inevitable anger from the club base and, although Clement insisted that he would not resign, Boyd thinks that it should be taken out of his hands.
Former Scotland International turned to the Sky Sports News television pundit: “Clement has already had a lot of criticism – is right, in my opinion. Thirteen points behind Celtic in the league, outside the Scottish Cup to the Queen’s Park at home and lost the Celtics Cup League final .
“Yes, they qualified for the last 16 League of Europe, but in the country – when I grew up – it was everything and finished everything. And it is not good enough right enough right now.
“I don’t see that this Rangers team improves. Far from home, they really fought. The main example for me was Ange Postecoglou on Celtics – they lost players and went through renovation.
“Within a few weeks you could see the style of the game, the fans bought it and we know what happened next. The Rangers fans can say,” We didn’t have a lot of money to wear ” – it’s a myth. We spent £ 3.5 million on [Nedim] Bajrami who is a lot of money for Rangers. The Rangers spent almost £ 12m in the summer and are already related to the purchase of Oscar Cortes in the summer come for £ 3 million. “

Boyd Questions The Motives of the Board of Klement Committee
Boyd believes that the financial questions could be behind the decision of the Committee not to withdraw the trigger on the Clement of Mandate.
He added, “Rangers fans want to know – and I know that [CEO] Patrick Stewart said it was not a financial decision in the past – but right now, Rangers fans need to know if Philippe Clement is only because of finance.
“Talk about not wanting to rinse and repeat the manager – you have to do so until you find the right manager. You can’t only say because we have fired the last three managers that we will continue with this – that doesn’t work that way.”
Gerrard to come back?
Steven Gerrard has already been installed as a favorite to take over if Clement leaves and make an emotional return to Glasgow.
The former midfielder of England, who left the Saudi Arab Club of Al-Eettifaq last month, led the Rangers to the Scottish Prime Minister 2020-21, depriving the Celtic tenth consecutive league title.
After that, Aston Vili joined, but was discharged after 11 months after the bad start of the 2022-23 campaign.
