Rangers Manager Under Pressure Ahead of Aberdeen Match

Rangers manager Philippe Clement has urged his players to focus on their performance and block out external distractions as they prepare for a crucial match against Aberdeen at Pittodrie. With a potential defeat putting them nine points behind both Aberdeen and Celtic, Clement emphasized the importance of taking points rather than worrying about the competition. However, the pressure is mounting on Clement, with fans and pundits expressing dissatisfaction with the team's inconsistent performances, particularly following a recent 2-1 loss at Pittodrie, which has led to calls for his dismissal. Critics argue that Clement's explanations and claims of progress have become increasingly untenable, as he insists that the loss was one of the team's best performances. Former players and fans alike are questioning his ability to turn the situation around, suggesting that he is losing the dressing room. As the season progresses, Clement acknowledges the challenges of managing player mentality amid social media scrutiny and a demanding match schedule.
