Although Philippe Clement is a fairly unwavering manager who values performance, the Rangers’ success is what counts most.
This is just what he accomplished with his ragged team against Hibernian at Easter Road, and Benfica will be visiting Ibrox next.
Philippe Clement, the Rangers manager, has posted his opinions on social networking platform X, so it appears that the fake indignation hasn’t had much of an impact on him.
Philippe Clement messages Rangers supporters
Since kickoff last night, that platform in particular has been quite the experience.
Supporters of the green and white team from Glasgow and Edinburgh have been complaining about how Steven McLean did everything to ensure that Rangers won and how few decisions went Hibs’ way.
I must have missed the part where McLean said that it’s okay to climb all over a player’s back in the penalty area or when he tried to talk some sense into Jordan Obita when he was already on a yellow card.
Obita was fortunate, if anything, that he wasn’t dismissed sooner.
When in doubt, I always employ the Alfredo Morelos test.
If El Buffalo had shoved the opposition team’s physiotherapist and an injured player off the pitch, would they have received a booking?
For that one, I believe we all know the answer.
The same thing applied to Nathan Moriah-Welsh; if Morelos had thrown himself into a tackle like that, we would have witnessed arguments in Holyrood.
When Rangers advanced to the Scottish Cup semifinals, Philippe Clement posted on X, choosing to disregard the rubbish with a straightforward message:
“Another important victory!! Hampden Park, here we come again!”
We are back into double figures in terms of missing players, so it’s amazing what the big Belgian is accomplishing.
Even the most optimistic Rangers supporters couldn’t have predicted where we are currently after watching us stutter through the preseason.
Every win is significant at this point in the season, but without Clement, we would be playing a string of meaningless games.
