Philippe Clement faced a challenging afternoon as his Rangers team fell short against Celtic in the Scottish Cup final. Despite the disappointment, the manager sought to uplift his players with an impassioned post-match speech. The defeat, sealed by a late goal from Adam Idah, served as a double blow for the Light Blues after losing the Scottish Premiership title.

As the Celtic TV commentators awaited Callum McGregor’s trophy presentation, they were unimpressed by Clement’s address to his team. The manager had previously spoken openly about the need for a major squad overhaul amid the departures of key players like Ryan Jack, Borna Barisic, and John Lundstram, marking the end of an era at Ibrox.

Gerry McCulloch of Celtic TV sensed a recurring theme as Clement emphasized the impending rebuild for Rangers, recurring year after year. Despite the disappointment, Clement reiterated the necessity of changes within the club to usher in a new phase. Looking ahead to the next season, he acknowledged the need for transformations to revitalize the team and pursue future success.
