Philippe Clement reflects on his challenging 16-month period as Rangers manager, identifying a League Cup final loss to Celtic as pivotal. Despite the team showing potential, they fell short in crucial moments, leading to diminished patience from fans and management. Clement highlights that the lack of a win in key matches contributed to his eventual dismissal following a loss to St Mirren. His successor, Russell Martin, now faces similar challenges as Clement laments the need for more time for player development and team growth.
"I think it was a vital game. If we had won, there would have been more patience with the fans also and the board could have stayed much calmer."
"Every manager wants patience - and few get it. But Clement arguably got more than predecessors Michael Beale and Giovanni van Bronckhorst."
