Sport nationChris Sutton has shared his thoughts on Philippe Clement’s future as Rangers manager, suggesting that he will not be sacked before the upcoming Glasgow Derby against Celtic on January 2nd.
Sutton believes that the Rangers vs Celtic game is a “must-win” for Clement, and that he is currently “hanging on” to his job. However, Sutton also thinks that the Rangers fans have “had enough” of Clement’s management.
The former Celtic player pointed out that the 14-point gap between Celtic and Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership is “unacceptable” for Rangers, and that if it increases to 17 points, it would be difficult for Rangers to catch up.
Sutton also discussed the potential implications of the upcoming Rangers vs Celtic game, suggesting that a Celtic win could effectively end Rangers’ title challenge. He noted that a 17-point gap would require Rangers to win all of their remaining games, which is highly unlikely.
Furthermore, Sutton emphasized that even if Rangers were to win against Celtic, the title race would still be far from over. He mentioned that an 11-point gap would still be a significant hurdle for Rangers to overcome, and that Celtic would still be in a strong position to win the title.
Sutton’s comments come at a time when Rangers are facing intense pressure to deliver results. The team’s poor performance in the league has led to widespread criticism of Clement’s management, and many fans are calling for his dismissal.
In contrast, Celtic are flying high at the top of the table, with a 14-point lead over their nearest rivals. Brendan Rodgers’ team has been in impressive form, scoring goals and keeping clean sheets with ease.
The upcoming Glasgow Derby is shaping up to be a crucial match for both teams. A win for Celtic would all but secure their title victory, while a win for Rangers would give them a glimmer of hope in the title race.
However, Sutton’s comments suggest that Clement’s future as Rangers manager may be sealed regardless of the outcome of the match. The pressure is mounting on the Belgian manager, and it remains to be seen whether he can turn things around and save his job.
One thing is certain, however: the Glasgow Derby is always a highly anticipated and intense match, and this year’s edition promises to be no exception. With so much at stake, both teams will be giving it their all to emerge victorious.
