There will no pressure on Philippe Clement to win the Scottish Premiership with Rangers this season but there will need to be improvement and a trophy or two would be appreciated too.
Since the final whistle blew at the end of the title winning 2020/21 season, entertaining football has been a rarity other than in the Europa League under Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
As well as playing good football, Phlippe Clement has to win with Rangers and there is one key factor that, if he improves, he will have a chance.
Philippe Clement must address key Rangers issue under Beale
Michael Beale spoke about how we were leading the way in terms of shots being taken but every football fan knows that this is an irrelevant statistic.
It’s all fair and well taking shots, but they have to have a chance of going in.
It’s pointless continually shooting from poor positions or from long range.
What Philippe Clement needs to do is find a way to get Rangers creating easy chances and tap-ins – an issue that ultimately earned Beale his P45.
Full-backs throwing crosses in from deep isn’t the answer, nor is Connor Goldson smashing long ball, after long ball.
The new Gers boss has to develop a style of play that sees us getting in behind packed defences and getting centre-halves turned.
He also has to encourage his players to attack the box in a way that they haven’t done for years, throwing caution to the wind against teams who play with 10 men behind the ball.
It’s not too much to ask is it?
