The Philippe Clement Revolution is on the rocks after a 1-1 draw at home to ARIS Limassol tonight.
It was the third draw in nine matches for the Belgian magician with the half-time and full-time whistles greeted with the familiar sound of boos ringing round Ibrox.
Pre-match news that Sparta Prague had beaten Real Betis was greeted with joy from the media who highlighted that a home win at Ibrox guaranteed qualification to the knock-out stage of the Europa League.
Clement’s team now need to win away to Betis in a fortnight to progress, if they lose or draw they’ll be hoping that Sparta fail to win away to ARIS to take second place.
Winning their group would provide a place in the last 16 draw of the Europa League, finishing second a place in the last 32 with third spot seeing them drop into the Conference League.
Remaining in the Europa League would provide the boost of an extra £800,000 for Clement’s January war-chest.
Rangers go 1-0 down to Aris Limassol… ?

With just one win from their first four matches ARIS played with confidence and deservedly opened the scoring in the 28th minute with Shavy Babicka running away from Ben Davies and John Souttar after Toss Cantwell had lost possession.
Seven minutes later TikTok was substituted by Ross McCausland as the Ibrox hoards screamed for Sam Lammers or Jose Cifuentes to be replaced.
Early in the second half the substitute levelled the scores but with no Scottish officials on duty James Tavernier was unable to come up with a winner.
Rather than enjoying a leisurely trip to Spain before facing Aberdeen in the League Cup Final three days later it looks like a win will be required or it will be Conference League football and much less cash for Mister Clement in January.
Tavpen redundant tonight! No surprise there.
sevco has no cash to buy players in January.
We have a huge cash pile, but the Board doesn’t like buying better players.
Maybe our “you get what what you pay for” Non-exec [?] Chairman could
come up with a mutually beneficial, “2 Way Agreement” ?
…like agree with Bennett that neither club spends even one penny in January?
🙁
See what happens when John Beaton and his buddies aren’t around to award dodgy last minute penalties yes plural.
The SCATTERGUN is out on FF tonight Hercule Poirot copped a sore one as did Ian Beale the fresh fruit and veg man who isn’t even there anymore,then they moved on to the players Tavpen left without a name,Barbie embarrassed by being took off the pitch after failing after only 35 minutes play,and rest all copped absolute PELTERS getting told to get to F**K at half-time and full-time.BYE BYE.
The klan are starting to turn the Poundland Beckham on FF tonight on klan member even called him out as a DIVING B******D it’s bad when they are admitting that,he is the first out the door in January even if it means going out onloan.
Total chaos tonight in the sevco dressing room after the game tonight as wee Quark from Deep Space 9 aka Alex Rae had to be separated from Cuntwell,apparently they squared up to each other with the manager stepping in between them.
Cuntwell to be dropped for the weekend and told to take a few days away from the klub.
This was information Rae has leaked out himself. Doing the rounds in Dennistoun tonight.
Once again they manage a point from a pretty piss poor Aris side…But at least they get something…!!…Jammy bastarts.
Is there any coming back from being hooked on 35 minutes?
[And if he wasn’t injured, he still should have noticeably limped off anyway.]
He was Beale’s blue-eyed boy, but looks like Clement doesn’t rate him now?
…and I thought CantDiveWell would get the captain’s armband under a
new sevco manager! 🙂
They should be getting slaughtered for taking 1 point from 6 off that mob
But the media have got Clement’s back and they’ll blame Beale
Thank Fk the wangers are weally, weally shite cos we are not exactly going to plan at the moment.
One or two more hiccups from that new klub and a new plank will start to emerge…
Barbie Cantwell? That’ll do!
Jesus H Christ, take a look at this (below)……a complete girl-child of a boy and he’s supposed to be some kinda hardman? (remember the scum phot-shopped a hardman body onto his weans frame). FFS, I’ve had run-ins with ra polis and a few hardmen; if only they hadda been like Barbie 🙂 HH
