Rangers manager Phillippe Clement faced some tough questions during the annual general meeting at the Clyde Auditorium on Thursday.
This has been a dull campaign for the Gers so far, but the 6-0 win against Kilmarnock at Ibrox on Wednesday was one of the major positives.
Clement cracked a joke that he didn’t ask his players to put more effort ahead of the AGM, but he did face one strong question from a Rangers fan.
A lady asked him whether the victory against Derek McInnes’ side was an indication of a brighter period to come or if it was just another false dawn.
Clement responded to her by saying that Rangers always strive to win, and the day they lower the expectations, the club won’t be the same anymore.
“If you could be honest and tell us what you’re expecting on the park,” she asked, as quoted by the Daily Record.
“Rather than us turning up at Ibrox with the expectations every week that we’re going to be reliving the glory days, if it’s not going to happen for a few years, please be honest and tell us.”
It drew a round of applause, and so did Clement’s response.
The Rangers boss said: “The legacy of Rangers is winning. 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.”
Rangers boss issues a strong message
Rangers board have kept faith in Clement, and they believe he can turn it around.
The Gers are unbeaten in their last seven games in all competitions, and they have won three games in a row.
Rangers have found some sort of momentum, but it could be a false dawn.
Clement has failed to beat Celtic in five attempts, and if his team fails to win the League Cup final against them on December 15, there is a possibility that he could be relieved of his duties.
