DEAL CONFIRM: Glasgow Rangers are in trouble The Scottish Premiership season is only ten matches in and they are already nine points behind Celtic….

I know very little about Philippe Clement, Rangers’ manager, but I do know this: they will get nowhere near Celtic with Clement in charge.

Rangers aren’t even second in what is traditionally a two-horse race. That situation is absolutely unsustainable and I’d be amazed if the board weren’t already sounding out possible replacements.The problem is not just Clement. The club have spent a lot of money on players who don’t quite cut the mustard but will remain a drain on the books for some time… unless sold

They desperately need a circuit breaker. And as they can’t get any new players until January, the only feasible circuit breaker is a new manager.was surprised Rangers didn’t appoint Muscat earlier.

It’s possible they did consider him, maybe even spoke to him, but he wasn’t appointed when he was clearly the best man for the job
