Rangers news: Tom English shares behind-the-scenes Philippe Clement update
Tom English has shared what he noticed after sitting down with Rangers manager Philippe Clement.
The BBC journalist stated that he didn’t strike him as someone who was intimidated by the challenge of turning things around at Ibrox.
Gers find themselves 13 points behind Celtic and are trophyless this season after losing the Scottish League Cup final.
English wrote on X: “I sat down with Philippe Clement yesterday to hear what life was like in the maelstrom. He didn’t strike me as a guy who was cowed by the challenge.”
Rangers do not seem to be going anywhere under Philippe Clement
While English’s observation that Clement isn’t intimidated by the challenge at Ibrox is commendable, the stark reality facing the club paints a grim picture.
Gers are currently trailing Celtic by a huge margin in the league, a gap that underscores a significant underperformance for a club of their stature.
Moreover, the season has been devoid of any silverware, adding to the disappointment.
Clement’s confidence is a positive sign, indicating leadership and a willingness to tackle the issues head-on, but confidence alone does not translate into points on the board or trophies in the cabinet.
The fans and the club hierarchy will be looking for tangible improvements on the pitch. The situation demands not just mental fortitude but strategic acumen and effective implementation to reverse the fortunes.
The pressure is immense, and while Clement’s demeanour might be reassuring, the real test lies in his ability to transform this confidence into results that can close the gap with Celtic and bring success to Gers.
