The former striker of the Rangers, Kris Boyd, says that Philippe Clement deserves the criticism that is directed today and does not believe that light blues improve under Belgian besieged.
The Rangers crashed yesterday from the Scottish Cup after losing 1-0 in Ibrox against the Queen’s Park championship, the first time the club had lost a draw at home with a team of a lower league in its 153 years of history.
It marked a new minimum for Clement, whose side is 13 points behind Celtic in the Premier League Scottish.

Ira of Ibrox as the embarrassed rangers
The defeat found an inevitable fury of the club’s fans base and, although Clement insisted that he would not resign, Boyd feels that the matter should be taken from his hands.
The former International of Scotland turned into a television expert told Sky Sports News: “Clement has already had many criticisms, and rightly so, in my opinion. Thirteen points behind Celtic in the League, from the Scottish Cup with Queen’s Park at home and lost the final of the League Cup against Celtic.
“Yes, they have qualified for the last 16 of the Europa League, but at the national level, when it was growing, it was the whole and the end of everything.” And at this time, it is not good enough.
“I don’t see that this rangers team improves. Far from home, they have really been fighting. The excellent example for me was Ange Postecoglou in Celtic: they had lost players and were going through a reconstruction.
“In a couple of weeks, you could see the style of play, fans bought it and we know what happened next. Rangers fans can say “we haven’t had much money to spend,” it’s a myth. We spend £ 3.5 million in (Nedim) Bajami, which is a lot of money for the Rangers. The Rangers spent almost 12 million in the summer and are already tied to buy Oscar Cortes in the summer that arrived for £ 3 million. “

Boyd asks the reasons for the Board to keep Clement
Boyd believes that financial matters could be behind the Board’s decision not to tighten the trigger on Clement’s mandate.
He added: “Rangers fans want to know, and I know that (the CEO) Patrick Stewart has said that it was not a financial decision, in the past, but at this time the fanatics of the Rangers must know if Philippe Clement is only there Because of finance.
“You talk about not wanting the rinse and repetition of the managers: you have to do it until you find the appropriate manager. You cannot say because we fire the last three managers that we are going to continue with this, it doesn’t work that way. “
Gerrard to return?
Steven Gerrard has already been installed as a favorite to take care of Clemente would leave and make an emotional return to Glasgow.
The former England midfielder, who left the Saudi Arabia Al-Ettifaq club last month, took the Rangers to the 2020-21 Premier League, denying Celtic a tenth successive title of the League.
He later joined Aston Villa, but was fired after 11 months after a bad start to the 2022-23 campaign.
