Clement’s Vision

“The legacy of Rangers is winning,” Clement emphasized. “The day we lower that bar, Rangers is not Rangers anymore. That’s my message for the dressing room. That’s what the new guys need to learn… We’re working with everybody really hard in the building to get these young talents and also the older players to gel together, to do the right things together, to create a better team.”

Fan Reaction

One shareholder asked Clement to be honest about the team’s expectations. “If it’s not going to happen for a few years, please be honest and tell us,” she requested. Clement’s response drew applause. Another fan praised his honesty, saying, “We appreciate your transparency, Philippe.”
