Following the ‘Atrocious’ Ibrox incident, Clement had discussions with the Rangers board.
Following the ‘atrocious’ Ibrox event, Philippe Clement had urgent discussions with the Rangers board.
The Ibrox board was addressed by Rangers manager Philippe Clement following their “atrocious”
handling of the VAR controversy during the most recent Old Firm match.
Journalist Gary Keown revealed the outcome after the Gers asked Willie Collum to oversee their
games since they believed a judgment against Celtic in December did not go their way.
The official was the VAR in the 2-1 defeat, with Rangers furious that he did not ask referee Nick
Walsh to assess a probable Alistair Johnston handball.
On Saturday, February 10, the Ibrox team defeated Ayr United 2-0 in the Scottish Cup fifth round.
Collum officiated the match.
For the Scottish Mail on Sunday, Keown stated, “He was happy Collum was in charge for the
visit of Ayr” (page 96, 11 February). “He had addressed the board regarding the appalling
way the Old Firm fallout was handled, and they hadn’t sought his input.”
with the Rangers board.
Ranger manager is pleased with Collum
Since replacing Michael Beale earlier in the season, Clement has performed admirably for the
Rangers, so the board can’t really complain about him.
In addition to leading them to League Cup triumph, he has assisted them in closing the gap on
Celtic in the Scottish Premiership.
Moreover, the coach has taken the Gers into the knockout rounds of the Europa League and
now the later stages of the Scottish Cup.
The fact that Clement has publicly expressed his satisfaction with Collum refereeing their
games [Sky Sports, 9 February], in sharp contrast to the club’s position, may, however,
have angered the higher-ups at the Glasgow team.
It’s evident that Clement has moved on from the ruling against Celtic, in which it was
discovered that Abdallah Sima’s offside during the build-up prevented a penalty from being awarded.
The board must now move forward from the past as well.
After an unsuccessful attempt to sign Ibrox during the January transfer window, a writer
has reported the latest conversations between the Rangers and a potential new acquisition.
