Gary Keown did not hold back in criticizing Philippe Clement for his recent remarks following Rangers’ disappointing league performances. The Glasgow side has stumbled in their last five matches, with only one win to show for their efforts, allowing Celtic to pull away in the Scottish Premiership title race.

Despite the team’s struggles, the Light Blues’ manager has maintained a positive outlook in public appearances, often commending his players while downplaying the quality of their opponents. Keown did not mince words in expressing his displeasure with Clement’s post-match comments, describing them as a “geyser of garbage” that had been festering for some time.

The Rangers faithful have endured a string of underwhelming displays in recent weeks, with the team failing to secure a victory in their last three outings. The draw in the Old Firm derby offered fleeting excitement but ultimately left supporters frustrated, while a defeat to Ross County exposed further vulnerabilities in Clement’s squad, compounded by a lackluster performance in the goalless draw against Dundee.

Despite commanding possession and creating numerous chances, the inability to convert opportunities into goals has been a recurring issue for Rangers. Clement’s persistent tendency to accentuate the positives and belittle their shortcomings has only added to the mounting concerns among fans and pundits alike.

As Rangers look ahead to upcoming challenges, including a crucial trip to Hampden, it is imperative that they reverse their fortunes quickly in the league. Clement’s rhetoric must align with the team’s on-field performances if they are to salvage their title aspirations and regain their winning form.
