Alasdair Lamont claims the Rangers board’s top “desire” for keeping Philippe Clement as manager is to build “stability” after several turbulent seasons marked by managerial changes. Although Clement’s future has been under the spotlight repeatedly this season, he continues to hold his position as the Gers’ boss.

Writing for BBC Sport on 13 November, Alasdair Lamont suggested that what’s keeping Philippe Clement at Rangers this season is the board’s focus on stability. “The European performances and results have surely helped keep Philippe Clement in a job,” he noted. “But there’s also a clear desire in the boardroom to establish stability rather than face the costly, disruptive cycle of sacking and hiring managers every year.”

Lamont added that Clement’s challenge now is to bring Rangers’ strong European form to their domestic games, particularly with Celtic and Aberdeen nine points ahead. “That will be easier said than done,” he wrote, “as neither of the league leaders show signs of dropping points.”
