Rangers fans rage at board after ‘unforgivable’ Philippe Clement news
Rangers fans have been left fuming at the club’s board after Philippe Clement was handed a new contract extension at Ibrox.
This comes after Clement’s side drew 0-0 with Hearts on the opening day of the Scottish Premiership season, leading to concerns about what they can achieve this season.
After a turbulent summer and a difficult end to last season, many at Ibrox had been calling for the manager’s head prior to the contract announcement.
The minimum expectation amongst Rangers fans is to challenge Celtic for the title, if not to win it, but as things stand they look a level below their Old Firm rivals.
Brendan Rodgers’ side, meanwhile, beat Kilmarnock 4-0 at the weekend to get their league season off to a flying start.
