Philippe Clement faces pressure, insists talks with Rangers board continue

Rangers manager Philippe Clement addressed the media ahead of a crucial match against Hearts, following a disappointing Scottish Cup exit to Queen's Park. Despite calls from fans for his dismissal, Clement indicated that his discussions with CEO Patrick Stewart have remained routine, emphasizing that no manager has guarantees about their job security. He acknowledged the unacceptable nature of the cup defeat, which has left the club and its supporters devastated, but expressed a desire to react positively in upcoming matches. Clement also spoke about the emotional impact of the fan abuse he encountered after the loss, stating that it 'hurts' but remains committed to improving the team's performance. He reiterated his determination to rectify the situation and build on past successes with the club. With Rangers struggling in the league, the pressure undoubtedly mounts on Clement as he aims to turn around the team's fortunes.
