Rangers directors have held behind-the-scenes crisis talks over Philippe Clement's future, according to The Scottish Sun.

The news outlet reported on 10 January that the Belgian is clinging on to his job which is understood to be in danger.

Some anticipated that Clement would resign and admit his time was up, but that is not on the cards, as things stand.

Philippe Clement has no incentive to resign as Rangers manager

Clement has no incentive to walk as he will be forgoing a nice paycheck.

The Ibrox outfit handed him a long-term deal in the summer and the Belgian would've ensured that he has a significant compensation amount added in case he gets sacked.

He will be aware that the club are in dire financial straits and won't sack him until things get really bad, which according to some, they already are.

Patrick Stewart has backed him publically in the meeting with the press on 11 January but it's understood that his job is far from safe.

Of course, the club CEO is not going to come out and say that they're thinking of sacking him, but the Belgian knows he's a few more bad results away from the sack.

Fans are unlikely to get on board unless some game-changing signings are made in January or if there is a change of manager.
