Philippe Clement has seen happier times as a trainer. In their own country there were successes at Waasland-Beveren, Genk and Club Brugge. In Scotland he has difficulty getting the machine running at the Glasgow Rangers.
Including the last cup match, he has not lost seven times in a row, but there are still too many draws. Tonight, his Rangers will play against Manchester United in a European match at Old Trafford. Bee TNT the situations of both clubs were compared and the pressure on both coaches was discussed. “It’s like it always is: it depends on the results,” says Ally McCoist.
“One of the differences between Manchester United and Glasgow Rangers is that at Rangers you only have to beat one team,” the Scottish international explains that Amorim’s job is much more difficult than Clement’s. “That’s what you have to do, you have to beat Celtic. Whether it’s in the league or in cup matches, you have to beat them.”
Clear message for Clement
It is precisely in these matches that Clement often lost out, until Rangers defeated Celtic 3-0 on January 2, 2025. “Rangers recently did it once and they looked very comfortable in that match. It is quite simple what Philippe Clément has to do: beat Celtic and start winning things,” the Belgian coach gets the message again.
-McCoist, himself an ex-Rangers player and former Scottish international, notices that Clement is making progress. “There is progress. I certainly think there is improvement in the team.” Having said this, there is also a reason why Rangers are no fewer than thirteen points behind Celtic. “The form away from home has not been good enough in our own competition.”
Press Clement will persist
The pressure will most likely continue for a while. “There is always pressure on these trainers,” concludes McCoist.
