Philippe Amorim admits Rangers must return to strength or face the consequences
- Rangers have struggled in their recent games, earning only one point from their last two matches.
- Clement's management is under increasing scrutiny with Celtic leading the league by 14 points.
- The upcoming match against Celtic will significantly impact Clement's future as the club's manager.
In Scotland, the Rangers football team has been struggling under the management of Philippe Clement. Following a disappointing draw against Motherwell on December 28, 2024, where they were initially down 2-0, opinions are growing more negative regarding Clement's future. The team has only secured one point from their last two games against St Mirren and Motherwell, raising questions about their competitiveness in the league. The current situation leaves them significantly behind rivals Celtic, who hold a commanding 14-point lead. With an Old Firm clash on the horizon, the pressure mounts as failure could lead to a managerial change. Clement's tenure has seen a mix of defensive struggles and high expectations, particularly given the club’s historic status in Scottish football. Observers agree that his position is precarious and a home defeat against Celtic could trigger immediate repercussions. The consensus is that without improvement, particularly in crucial matches, decisions regarding Clement's future will be made swiftly, potentially involving significant scrutiny and even calls for his resignation. Additionally, the involvement of his son Paavo as a performance manager has drawn mixed reactions, complicating the situation further as fans and pundits begin to associate his performance with Clement's leadership. Success or failure in the upcoming matches will likely dictate the conversation surrounding the managerial role at Rangers for the foreseeable future.
