Rangers AGM takes place on Thursday and, for all that they are never dull affairs, this one is set to be a blockbuster.
Nobody is safe, with the board likely to get most of the criticism, however, the manager will also need to defend the current performances and state of his squad.
Philippe Clement still believes that he is the man to take Rangers forward, but many have written him off already, although a statement made on his announcement could be used against him when fans get to probe the gaffer at the AGM.

Philippe Clement words could haunt Rangers AGM
After being paraded at Ibrox, Clement soon sat down with the press and was asked what his style of play would be, he didn’t mince his words, nor did he make extravagant claims, as reported by Sky Sports:
“It’s always been a dominant style of play. Also, Waasland-Beveren, the first team I started with was a relegation team, but we played dominant football and we got results with that style,” said Clement.
“It’s something I really want, to take charge of the game. I want to create but out of good organisation. But at the end, it is all about winning.
“However, my style is towards creating chances, creating spaces for ourselves and with a lot of changing of the positions of the players. For that you need a lot of movement with different players together.
“It’s about timing and it’s about working together well. So, it needs time to implement all these things.”

is Philippe Clement’s fate already sealed?
If Rangers were winning, questions about style of play wouldn’t be quite as loud.
This season, Rangers have struggled to dominate, struggled to create chances and, for large parts, don’t look organised.
The contrast with European football only causes even more frustration when compared to some of the domestic performances, especially away from home.
Jason Holt is now Rangers joint top goalscorer away from home in the league, and he plays for St Johnstone.
For now, results are all that matter given the situation in the Scottish Premiership, but there is an element of hope, rather than expectation, when looking back at what Clement first set out to do.
