The Ibrox side were handed a major opportunity to put themselves back into the mix at the top end of the Premiership after early pacesetters Celtic and Aberdeen battled out a 2-2 stalemate on Saturday. But instead of cutting the gap down to three points, they now find themselves six behind Brendan Rodgers and Jimmy Thelin ’s unbeaten leaders.

Abundantly clear now for Rangers fans is that Philippe Clement must go. This is a post-match reaction, true, but any Rangers supporter who believes this guy is the right manager for the club at this time is extremely misguided, and while it will be an expensive sack, it has to be done.

Philippe Clement refused to reach for excuses after Rangers’ dismal 1-0 defeat at Kilmarnock angered the fans and left them further behind in the William Hill Premiership title race. League leaders Celtic and Aberdeen drew 2-2 at Parkhead on Saturday to offer his third-placed side some encouragement but Marley Watkins’ 87th minute strike on Killie’s artificial pitch pushed the Govan side six points behind both their title rivals.

Rangers fans are beginning to turn on Philippe Clement after the club’s latest performance and defeat to Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership. The Gers had the chance to cut the gap at the top of the Scottish Premiership to three points but actually wind up six points behind Aberdeen and Celtic after defeat to Kilmarnock.

Philippe Clement offered no excuses after his team were defeated by Kilmarnock at Rugby Park, but a year into his reign, are Rangers on the right track?

Brendan Rodgers admits he knows nothing about new Rangers adversary Philippe Clement but says his focus will remain firmly on Celtic regardless.
