Philippe Clement looks set to be sacked as Rangers manager after damaging back-to-back home defeats, according to reports.
The Belgian has been under extreme pressure since the humiliating Scottish Gas Scottish Cup exit at the hands of William Hill Championship side Queen’s Park a fortnight ago, and a first Ibrox loss to St Mirren since 1991 on Saturday looks like proving the final straw for the Gers board.
The former Club Brugge and Monaco boss described the display in Saturday’s 2-0 defeat as “by far the worst I’ve seen in all the time I’ve been here”.
Clement succeeded Michael Beale in October 2023 and led Gers to the League Cup two months after his appointment.
He also briefly hauled them into title contention last season, but they eventually finished eight points adrift of Celtic and he was unable to recapture the promising form of his early months in the job.
Although he led the Light Blues to the last 16 of the Europa League, where they will face Fenerbahce next month, the 50-year-old looks set to vacate his position with Rangers 13 points adrift of city rivals Celtic at the top of the league and likely to end the season without a domestic trophy.
