Clement likes using a 4-2-3-1 formation which worked good for him before. But trying to make it work in Scottish football isn’t easy and it’s taking time. How well he can make this work will matter a lot for Rangers chances in Scotland and Europe.
Clement’s Managerial Background
Philippe Clement has managed teams all over Europe. Before coming to Rangers he was in charge of big teams like AS Monaco, Club Brugge, and KRC Genk. He did really well at Club Brugge getting 1.96 points per match which was about the same as what he got at Genk.
Future Prospects for Rangers
Now that they’re out of the Scottish Cup Rangers need to get back to winning in other competitions. They need Clement’s knowledge to get back to playing good. The fans want to see the team do better and play like Rangers should.
Clement’s got a contract with Rangers until June 2027 so he’s got time to make his mark and help the team win things. The way he deals with this loss could show what kind of manager he is at Rangers as he tries to prove he can handle tough times and get his team winning again.
