Following Thursday’s excellent Europa League win in Nice, attention turns back to domestic football for Rangers manager Philippe Clement.
The Belgian’s European form has been impressive, but the Ibrox boss has faced intense criticism for Premiership performances and results this season.
So with a trip to St Johnstone to come on Sunday, we have crunched the numbers behind the Clement’s league record.
His win percentage stands at 69% after losing seven and drawing six of his 42 Premiership games.
The most recent of those draws came last Saturday as Clement’s side had to come from behind against Dundee United at Ibrox, meaning they are now 11 points adrift of leaders Celtic and eight shy of second-placed Aberdeen.
But how does the Ibrox boss’ record compare with his predecessors?
Well, his win percentage in the league is the lowest of any Rangers manager since Graeme Murty, who departed his role in May 2018.
Michael Beale’s stood at 77%, with Giovanni van Bronckhorst on 70%. Across a far greater sample size, Steven Gerrard’s was 72%.
With a hectic schedule to come, and sizeable gaps to make up on both teams, Clement must ensure that win rate spikes or he will inevitably face the same fate as the two managers who came before him.
