Rangers are still paying Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Michael Beale despite sacking them in 2022 and 2023, according to the Daily Record.

The news outlet reported on 13 November that the compensation they'll have to pay Philippe Clement for sacking him would be the most costly yet and it's unclear where the money will come from.

The Belgian was recently handed a four-year deal and the club announced a £17million loss for the last year.

Rangers continue to make baffling decisions behind the scenes

The financial situation at Ibrox, with ongoing payments to sacked managers alongside a £17million loss, underscores significant issues in the club's management and financial planning.

The decision to offer Clement a four-year deal, despite recent managerial financial commitments and the club's precarious state, appears shortsighted.

Such long-term contracts are risky, especially in football where managerial turnover is frequent, and performances can be unpredictable.

Now, if Rangers consider sacking the Belgian due to lack of progress, the financial ramifications are daunting, potentially exacerbating their budget.

This reflects poor strategic planning and highlights a clear disconnect between the boardroom and the practicalities of managing a football club effectively.

Everything at Ibrox appears to be a mess currently and the issues lie far beyond Clement or the players.
