Rangers Sack Clement After St Mirren Defeat, Fan Backlash

Scottish giants Rangers have sacked Philippe Clement following their 2-0 loss to St Mirren, ending the Belgian coach's tenure after less than two years in charge.

A disastrous campaign saw growing fan frustration, culminating in Saturday's defeat, which marked Rangers first home loss to St Mirren since 1991.

In a statement on Sunday, the club confirmed Clement's dismissal:

Rangers Football Club can confirm it has tonight parted company with men's first-team manager, Philippe Clement,

The club would like to put on record their sincere thanks to Philippe for his hard work and dedication during his spell in charge. A further update from the club will follow in due course.
