Rangers' Philippe Clement Faces Collapse After Historic Cup Defeat

Rangers manager Philippe Clement faces intense scrutiny following a humiliating 1-0 defeat to Queen's Park in the Scottish Cup, marking the first time the club has lost to a lower league team at home in this competition's history. This defeat has triggered significant backlash from fans, with many demanding his immediate resignation. Despite the mounting pressure, Clement insists he will not quit, asserting that the team has made progress and that emotional decisions are not beneficial for the club. He acknowledged the frustration of supporters but argued that a different manager would not have changed the outcome. The loss has deepened worries about Rangers' trophyless season and their declining status in Scottish football, as they trail Celtic by 13 points and have failed to secure any domestic trophies. The situation at Ibrox is now at a critical juncture, with the board facing tough decisions regarding Clement's future.
