The pressure got too much today for Philippe Clement as he was sent off during a bounce match defeat from Hertha Berlin.

Just before half time the Bundesliga II side took the lead with the pressures of a tough week telling on the former Monaco boss early in the second half.

A foul on Scott Wright proved too much to take for Clement who was red carded for his reaction. Normally in such a match a quiet word from the referee to calm down would do the trick but it can only be assumed that the language used ruled out that option. David Dickinson wasn’t involved in today’s match.

As well as having to deal with the squad of misfits put together by Micky Beale his successor has had to humour fat-cat fans that have bankrolled the trip and behaved as expected.

Paying £7,500 each they’ve been living in the same hotel as the stars and joining Tik Tok, Tav and the rest for meals, there has been suggestions that alcohol as been flowing freely with some fans getting a bit too familiar with their mate big Phil and the players.

The match was shown live on You Tube with the watching bears far from impressed by what they watched with Cyriel Dessers and Jose Cifuentes in particular.

Fabio Silva was the only new face in the squad with most comments suggesting that the on loan Wolves flop had a quiet debut.

On Tuesday there are MyGers points to be collected when FC Copenhagen turn up at Ibrox for a January fund raiser.

Sevco(first-half): McCrorie, Tavernier, Souttar, Balogun, Ridvan, Sterling, Lundstram, Raskin, Matondo, Cantwell, Silva.

Sevco (second-half): Butland, Fraser, Yfeko, Goldson, King, McKinnon, Rice, Cifuentes, McCausland, S. Wright, Dessers. 

Subs: K. Wright, Lyall
