St Mirren Stuns Rangers at Ibrox, Adding Pressure on Philippe Clement
Rangers suffered a second consecutive home defeat as St Mirren secured a 2-0 victory at Ibrox, piling further pressure on beleaguered manager Philippe Clement. The match, which took place on Saturday, saw St Mirren claim their first win at Ibrox in 33 years, with goals from Mikael Mandron and Toyosi Olusanya sealing the result.
The game began with Rangers fans hopeful after Celtic’s earlier defeat to Hibernian, but optimism quickly faded as St Mirren dominated proceedings. Mandron opened the scoring in the second half after a lengthy VAR review overturned an initial foul decision, while Olusanya doubled the lead shortly after coming off the bench, outmuscling Rangers’ defence to slot home.
The result leaves Rangers 13 points behind Celtic in the Scottish Premiership and intensifies scrutiny on Clement, who has faced growing criticism following a recent Scottish Cup exit to Queen’s Park. Despite a potential takeover bid by the San Francisco 49ers’ investment group, the Belgian’s future remains uncertain as fans voiced their frustration with boos at full-time.
St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson celebrated his third anniversary in charge with a historic win, praising his team’s tactical discipline and aggressive pressing. The victory strengthens St Mirren’s push for a top-six finish, while Rangers’ domestic campaign continues to unravel. Clement now faces a crucial Europa League clash against Fenerbahce, with his position under increasing threat.
