Sky Sports reporter shares Philippe Clement reaction to what shareholder said about Rangers boos at AGM
Sky Sports reporter Gordon Duncan has shared details on a moment that appeared to “animate” Rangers manager Philippe Clement during the AGM.
Clement was present for annual gathering at Edmiston House in Glasgow on Tuesday (5 December) as an array of topics were covered.
One shareholder made the point that Rangers fans are far too quick to boo the side when things are not going their way on the field.
Explaining Clement’s reaction to that on Sky Sports News [5 December, 13:20], Duncan said: “He started applauding with the rest of the shareholders and agreed he wanted to build a greater synergy.”
Singing from same hymn sheet
Everyone connected with Rangers wants one thing: success on and off the field.
This AGM was a chance for those high up to respond to any worries from supporters, with topics from transfers to transport links discussed.
Clement has been an instant hit since succeeding Michael Beale at Ibrox, so he was never going to face any tough questions.
The Belgian clearly agreed, though, that he is not a fan of supporters booing the side, as we saw last week when Todd Cantwell was substituted.
On that occasion, it was a mixture of some being upset at Cantwell for his poor display, and others perhaps wondering why Sam Lammers was not replaced instead.
It sounds obvious to say, but as long as Rangers are doing well – which it must be said they have been over the entirety of Clement’s tenure – then supporters will be happy.
December really is a pivotal month for the Gers, with a cup final and an Old Firm showdown, so let’s just make sure everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet.
In other Rangers news, Clement has provided an update on the fitness of Nico Raskin and Ryan Jack.
