Clement Comments on Rangers Tenure, Board Discussions, and Club’s Future ‘Story’

Rangers manager Philippe Clement addressed the media in advance of Sunday’s League Cup semi-final match against Motherwell. The main points from his briefing included: Clement expressed “very confident” belief that the board would maintain their trust in him, even if immediate results do not show rapid improvement. The Ibrox boss stated that he has not engaged in recent discussions with the board, attributing this to them being “really busy with other things.” He further noted their shared understanding concerning the club’s long-term “story.” Clement indicated that swift changes are possible with the correct attitude, spirit, and mentality, an aspect they are diligently working on with the squad. He is actively conveying to each player the essence of Rangers, emphasizing that “every loss at this club is a drama” and a “bad thing.” He affirmed his commitment to continue working intensively with the squad to ensure this understanding. The Belgian manager articulated his desire for increased “fight” and greater consistency from his players. Clement also mentioned that the groundwork for a robust club is currently being laid, but stressed that such a process cannot be completed within a single transfer window. He reiterated his focus on the “longer-term project” he is pursuing. Both the players and management are assuming accountability for the team’s current poor performance, with the team reportedly not “giving up” and committed to continuing their fight for positive results.
