There wasn’t much respite for Phil Clement following his side’s 4-1 victory over Nice in the Europa League.
With the home side handing debuts to teenagers and looking completely disinterested, the visitors took full advantage to delay the inevitable departure of their manager.
Before and after the match Clement was going on about his exciting young team, but with an 11 point gap to Celtic and Aberdeen comfortable in second place, the relief was temporary for the loyal bears that have given up on their latest saviour.
After the escape of facing the Nice Academy team, Clement has three matches in eight days against St Johnstone, Kilmarnock and Hibs to win and keep the vultures at bay.
All of those clubs know how to get the better of the Belgian Beale, after those three matches he has the double-header against Spurs and Celtic before sitting down to hear the plans of new CEO Paddy Stewart.

I like him very much, he’s done a lot of good work for us.
Keevins will manage to put a positive spin on things. Watch this space.
I imagine the conversation between Jean-Luc Picard and Philippe will be similarly brutal to the one between Maverick and Rear Admiral Cain in ‘Top Gun: Maverick’….
