Panic at Ibrox as unemployed Clement makes his demands

The Ibrox board are holding back from meeting the demands of Philippe Clement.

The former Monaco boss is the clear fans favourite to replace Micky Beale judging from social media which puts the pressure on James Bisgrove and John Bennett to deliver.

Finding someone to take over the carnage left behind by Micky Beale is no easy task with the next victim knowing that even reaching a European final isn’t good enough if you are nine points behind Celtic in November.

Bisgrove and Bennett seem to have spent a week in London interviewing each other while the media messengers are fed enough to convince the Gullible & Deluded that a high quality recruitment search is underway.

Unless some drastic action is taken soon Steve Davis and Alex Rae will be preparing the squad at Murray Park on Monday with the second Revolution of 2023 delayed.

Sharing his insight with Daily Record readers, Keith Jackson explains:

It’s understood Clement wants a long term commitment from Rangers if he is to agree a deal after seeing the Light Blues board pull the trigger early on Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Beale. The Belgian has concerns over how short the Ibrox reigns were of both Van Bronckhorst and Beale who lasted just 12 months and 10 months respectively.

Clement was sacked himself after 18 months in charge of Monaco and has been out of work since. And he is looking for a longer term guarantee if he opts to move to the Scottish Premiership. He has also held talks with Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Shabab and the latest reports in the Middle East claim they want to steal a march on Rangers and “quickly complete” the appointment of the Belgian.

A four year contract for the unemployed Belgian and his backroom staff is unlikely to leave much left over for the January transfer warchest which would leave Clemente having to rely on the Imaginative Transfer Policy tried out by van Bronckhorst in the summer of 2022.
