‘Dismal’ – Four Lads Believe Philippe Clement is ‘Done’ at Rangers

The pressure on Rangers manager Philippe Clement has reached a boiling point as prominent fan platform Four Lads Had a Dream labeled his tenure “dismal” and suggested he is effectively “done” at the club. The comments come in the wake of a string of underwhelming performances that have left fans questioning whether the Belgian tactician can turn things around at Ibrox.

Clement, who took charge of Rangers in late 2024, arrived with high expectations following a successful managerial career in Belgium. However, his time at Rangers has been anything but smooth, with inconsistent league results and disappointing European outings leaving the club far behind rivals Celtic in the Premiership standings. The criticism from Four Lads Had a Dream, a widely followed and influential fan voice, reflects the growing dissatisfaction among the Rangers faithful.

Describing Clement’s tenure as “dismal,” the platform highlighted a lack of tactical identity, questionable team selections, and an inability to motivate players in key moments. “There’s no clear plan, no cohesion, and no progress. The performances are not just bad; they’re unacceptable for a club of Rangers’ stature,” a recent post from the platform stated. The suggestion that Clement is “done” underscores the belief that his position is becoming untenable.

The sentiment is shared by many within the Rangers fanbase, who have grown increasingly frustrated with the team’s lackluster displays. Calls for change have grown louder with every dropped point, particularly as Celtic continue to widen the gap at the top of the table. For Clement, the uphill battle to regain trust appears steep, with even his staunchest supporters beginning to question his long-term viability as Rangers’ manager.

Rangers’ board is now faced with a critical decision: whether to back Clement and give him time to implement his vision, or to act decisively and seek a new direction. With the January transfer window approaching, this decision carries added weight, as the club must decide if Clement will be entrusted to shape the squad further.

While no official statement has been made regarding Clement’s future, the mounting pressure from fans and poor on-field results suggest that his days at Ibrox could be numbered. As the team prepares for upcoming fixtures, Clement must find a way to inspire his squad and deliver immediate results. Otherwise, his tenure may come to an abrupt end, and Rangers will once again be searching for a leader capable of meeting the club’s high expectations.
