Rangers CEO Patrick Stewart has publicly endorsed manager Philippe Clement amid intense criticism following a historic Scottish Cup defeat to Queen's Park. Despite the team's struggles, including 13 points behind Celtic in the league, Stewart emphasized that changing managers hasn't solved underlying issues. He highlighted the importance of a longer-term vision, pointing to the club's Europa League progress, and rejected financial constraints as a reason for keeping Clement. Stewart insisted on addressing foundational problems rather than seeking quick fixes through managerial changes.
We have been underperforming for several seasons now and that's not down to the manager. We have changed the manager, and it has not made a difference.
Until we sort out the root causes, then it's akin to trying to fix a broken house and starting with the ceiling instead of starting with the foundations.
I do not want to take a step that would put further progress in the Europa League at risk.
I'm not here to make popular decisions and get quick wins. I do not want to repeat the mistakes of the past.
