On Sunday, one day after the Glasgow Rangers lost 0-2 against St. Mirren at home, the club announced the separation of coach Philippe Clement. Until the end of the season, club legend Barry Ferguson will interfere with the fortunes, as the club explained on Monday.
Clement has been a coach with the Rangers since October 2023 and won an average of 2.09 points in 86 games. With the defeat on Saturday, the gap to leader Celtic is 13 points (Correction: continued, not grown, Celtic has also lost) And the discharge followed, even though four games had previously been won in a row. With Ferguson, a real figure of identification takes over the team until summer. The 47-year-old completed 409 missions as a professional, became a Scottish champion six times and five times cup winner.
“I would like to emphasize again that the problems we are confronted with go deeper than the coach. We continue to check the work and want to tackle the problems. We will wait for the results in the coming weeks and months before we appoint a new, permanent coach, ”said CEO Patrick Stewart in the club announcement. Ferguson’s last coaching station was at the Scottish third division club Alloa Athletic between 2021 and 2022.
