Sir Kenny Dalglish slams Rangers under Philippe Clement – ‘totally unacceptable’
Kenny Dalglish has slammed Rangers and believes Philippe Clement needs to improve if they want to catch Celtic next season.
The Gers failed to win the Scottish Premiership or Cup after losing out to Celtic in both competitions in frustrating circumstances.
Looking forward to next season the Light Blues need to improve otherwise Clement’s job may be at risk just months into the campaign.
Speaking to the Sunday Post, transcribed by the Daily Record (2 June), Dalglish has suggested Rangers need to do better to get the better of their rivals.
He said: “Rangers need to find a way to beat their biggest rivals. From their point of view, their results in Old Firm matches in the last three years have been totally unacceptable.
“But since when was that good enough or acceptable for a club of that size with its success rate? The onus is now on Philippe Clement to find a way. And he’ll need to do it quickly. There is no room for more defeats.”
Philippe Clement needs Rangers improvement
The Gers ended the season in poor fashion which saw them fall away from the Scottish Premiership race and lose the cup final at Hampden.
Things had looked to be on the up when Clement came in as manager as he fired Rangers back up towards top spot.
At the vital moment, they slipped and began losing and drawing in very winnable games which saw Celtic win the title with ease.
Over the summer there is going to be plenty of ins and outs. This is the opportunity for Clement to put his imprint on the squad.
This is the Belgian’s first pre-season at Ibrox which will provide him the chance to get his ideas across which may benefit the club.
Next season what should be on top of the priority list is Old Firm games considering that Rangers haven’t won one in over a year.
You need to win these games if you want to win the Premiership and Clement must work on this over the summer.
