Heartbreaking Loss: just announced the death of his Two son…..
Rangers could still sack Philippe Clement if Celtic win another league title despite the manager signing a new contract at Ibrox, says Hugh Keevins.
The Belgian expressed his love for the club on 2 August after a surprise new deal was announced out of the blue ahead of the new season [Sky Sports].
But Daily Record journalist Keevins told Clyde 1 Superscoreboard later the same day that “means nothing” if there is a continued lack of success at Ibrox, because there is “no patience” and “no forgiveness” in Glasgow, pointing to another recent boss who was sent packing anyway.
Keevins said: “I honestly think that appealing for time is a waste of time, because I’m sure that Giovanni van Bronckhorst loved the club, got them to a European final, they still sacked him the following season.
“Glasgow doesn’t afford you time… when the reality hits that they have lost the league people are unhappy. There are people who were unhappy with Philippe Clement last season because he was close to the league and then we know what happened at Dingwall and Dundee.

“Philippe Clement lost the backing of a lot of supporters around about that time, unfairly because the man [is] today 10 months into the job, but in this city there’s no patience, there’s no forgiveness, and if Celtic go four in a row there’ll be much unhappiness.
“Philippe Clement may have an affection for the club but that on its own means nothing.”
