Philippe Clement Sacked as Rangers Manager After Disappointing Season
Philippe Clement has been officially sacked as Rangers manager following a disappointing 2-0 home defeat to St Mirren, which marked the final straw for the Ibrox hierarchy. The Belgian, who took charge in 2023, leaves after a turbulent season that saw Rangers trail Celtic by 13 points in the Scottish Premiership, suffer an early exit from the Scottish Cup, and lose the League Cup final. The club confirmed his departure in a 51-word statement, thanking him for his efforts and promising further updates in due course.
Attention has now turned to who will replace Clement, with former Rangers manager Steven Gerrard emerging as the early favourite. Gerrard, who led Rangers to their first league title in a decade in 2021, is currently out of work after leaving Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq earlier this year. Betting odds place him at 4/1 to make a sensational return to Ibrox. Other candidates in the frame include Russell Martin, Kevin Muscat, and former Premier League managers Sean Dyche and Steve Cooper.
The managerial change comes amid ongoing takeover talks involving 49ers Enterprises, the financial arm of the San Francisco 49ers, which could influence the club’s long-term direction. While Gerrard’s potential return has sparked excitement among fans, his previous departure to Aston Villa just months after winning the title may raise questions about his commitment. Rangers are expected to make a decision on their next manager in the coming weeks as they aim to rebuild and challenge for silverware once again.
