Due to poor transfer decisions, Philippe Clement is fired by Rangers.

Rangers Football Club has confirmed the departure of their manager Philippe Clement after a string of poor transfer decisions that left the club’s fans frustrated and disillusioned. Clement, who joined Rangers from French side Bordeaux in the summer of 2023, was expected to bring a new era of success to the Scottish giants, but his tenure was marked by disappointing results and underwhelming player signings.

The final straw for Rangers’ management came after Clement failed to secure a number of high-profile transfer targets during the January transfer window, leaving the team’s squad short of the quality needed to compete for silverware.

“In a statement released on the club’s official website, Rangers’ chairman Douglas Park expressed his disappointment with Clement’s performance, saying that the club “had to act quickly and decisively” in order to maintain its position as one of the most successful and respected teams in Scottish football.

“Clement, who had signed a three-year contract with Rangers when he took over, had faced growing criticism from fans and pundits alike over his transfer policy, with some accusing him of failing to understand the unique challenges of managing a club like Rangers in the Scottish Premiership.

“The decision to fire Clement leaves Rangers in a difficult position as they search for a replacement manager who can turn around the team’s fortunes. Several names have already been linked with the job, including former Rangers manager Steven Gerrard and Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou.

“The departure of Clement also raises questions about Rangers’ broader transfer strategy, with many fans calling for a more comprehensive overhaul of the club’s recruitment policy.
