Watch out Philippe- the angry bears are turning on you

Philippe Clement should be checking the small print in his contract going by the reactions from loyal bears to the defeat from Ross County.

To say Ibrox fans are fickle is a gross understatement, just ask Clement’s two predecessors how long goodwill lasts for.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst delivered a European final and a place in the Champions League group stage but got binned after 366 days.

Micky Beale supped pints with the bears in the Loudon Tavern, said everyfing that they wanted to hear but got chased out of town after ten months littered by losing the four meaningful matches against Celtic.

Up until Saturday April 6 Clement was the hottest ticket in football management, Dave King is living in fear that Liverpool, Manchester United or Bayern Munich are poised to entice him away from Ibrox…

The team selection against Celtic raised a few concerns, the first half brought out some red flags but despite home advantage and John Beaton in charge it took a stoppage time goal from Rabbi Matondo to avoid defeat.

A Lap of Honour and talk about a moral victory wouldn’t be the reactions of Mister Struth or Walter.

Yesterday’s 90 plus minutes was a compilation of the Banter Years but none of the bears were laughing.

Previously Clement was getting praised for getting a tune out of a squad that has shown itself to be serial, or in some cases cereal, losers time after time.

Now the brilliant Belgian is guilty of being too loyal to the mob known as the Leadership Group- a label dished out by Beale to James Tavernier, Connor Goldson and John Lundstram.

Captain Tav might be the hero of the Daily Record as they conjure up new honours to decorate the former Wigan ace but across social media the phrases disappointed, bottler and shi**bag have been trending.

On Tuesday Clement will face the hand picked media and is expected to provide updates on the drainage system at Dens Park and the impact of global warming on Tayside.

Cracking jokes about trips to Mars and suggesting that Dermot Gallagher is a Celtic fans would be best avoided as the media cheerleaders search for answers to Sunday’s surrender.
