Alious**Clement on the Brink: Rangers Boss Fights for Job Ahead of Hearts Clash**
Philippe Clement is facing mounting pressure as Rangers prepare for a crucial showdown against Hearts at Tynecastle. With the club enduring one of its most disappointing seasons in recent history, the Belgian manager is fighting to hold onto his job.
Rangers’ Season in Crisis**
Hopes of securing silverware have all but evaporated for the Light Blues. A shock 1-0 Scottish Cup defeat to Queen’s Park—widely considered one of the competition’s biggest upsets—ended their chances of lifting that trophy. Meanwhile, losing the League Cup final to Celtic compounded their misery, and with a staggering 13-point gap behind their Old Firm rivals in the league, the pressure on Clement has reached boiling point.
Sack Imminent if Rangers Lose to Hearts?**
According to the *Daily Record* (15 February, back page), Clement is “clinging to his job by his fingertips” as frustrations grow at Ibrox. A defeat at Tynecastle could see the manager dismissed immediately, with few positives emerging from a disastrous campaign under his leadership.
The humiliation of the Queen’s Park loss has only intensified scrutiny, leaving many questioning the club’s direction under Clement. The upcoming match against Hearts is a defining moment—win, and he may buy himself more time; lose, and the calls for his departure will only grow louder.
The Need for Change at Ibrox**
Regardless of Sunday’s result, Rangers are in desperate need of a reset. Issues extend beyond the dugout, with concerns over the squad’s quality, managerial instability, and questionable boardroom decisions. A major overhaul is required this summer if the Gers hope to reclaim their place at the top of Scottish football.
If the club fails to take decisive action, the current cycle of disappointment and embarrassment will only continue, highlighting a worrying lack of ambition from those in charge.
