That's it in a nutshell. So far behind them in all departments on and off the field.

That's what I said, he can ultimately fail due to things outwith his control.

See, that's you putting words in my mouth. There are varying reasons why I can't see Clement turning it around and not all his doing. Firstly budget. Outwith selling Butland we've probably spent the majority of our summer transfer budget on Diamonde. That means no Cortes or Sima (unless we can get them back on loan). Secondly, pressure to sell Tav and Dessers, meaning we'll lose 40 goals and around 15 assists from a team struggling to score goals if they leave. Thirdly, circa 9 players out of contract at the end of the season frees up wages but also leaves us thin on the ground. The unrealistic expectations from fans that anyone we do sign will automatically be better than those we get rid off. I'm contrarian? Your the one defending Clement, saying your more confident of him taking us forward but admitt if we start the season badly, you'll want rid of him 😀😀😀😀

He made an arse of some but Butland and Sterling have been immense this season, Sima was on fire before being injured, Dessers has scored 21 goals. All Beale signings. I think his net spend was circa £6M.

I hope I'm wrong, but I can't see him turning us around. Most of us ignored the alarm bells under MB and Gio but Clement has shown the same "traits".

Clement - but it doesn't show he is performing miracles. His overall PPG is slightly above MBs. Was MB performing miracles last season? The manager deserves time, but like MB and Gio there are worrying trends developing. His reluctance to change his style (tactics), his reluctance to select a consistent starting 11. Lose the SCF and fall behind early next season and the writing will be on the wall.

I don't think Barasic done much wrong to be fair, he also had an assist with our goal. However, glad to be seeing the back of him at the end of the season.Lundstram was stupid and he had struggled in the game . However, that's two consecutive games where the manager has chosen a very debatable starting 11 and in both games we've found ourselves 2 goals behind. His recent team selections and "style" of play have left some fans wondering at what PCs philosophy is. No questioning he has been hindered by injuries, but we have suffered a huge slump over the last couple of months.

So Beale and PC (overall) are much of a muchness. 2.32 v 2.4 .

So cups and Europe - so like I said, you're not comparing apples with apples.

Wait, how has Clement won 93 points when we only have 81?

It's another moral victory - keeping it to 2-1, down to 10 at half-time, with only 30% possession and almost 20 fewer shots 😒 Nevermind, I'm sure PC will hatch a plan for us to win the Scottish Cup

But you are both comparing apples with apples - I'm out anyway. Off for a walk to see if I can convince myself we're heading in the right direction (which we ain't).

Going to be some atmosphere at Ibrox on Tuesday. Cannae wait.

Not really relevant to today's game, but anyone got the stats on red cards and pens (for and against) in OF games at Parkhead over the last two decades?

Haha - show me their combined managerial stats?

Really? It'll be down to a combination of Beales poor start and Clements poor finish to the season. Unless Scott Wright turns this game on its head....

We had a better team than them when we won 55, played better football than them and went the entire league season undefeated. Wasn't down to bottle, it was down to players being in top form.

So will we end up with more or less points this season? Simple question? As for style of play, I'm struggling to see any "style" at all since we exited Europe and lost to Motherwell

Think its fair to say we ain't winning this game, so I'll take a draw.......

Thought refs waited on VAR giving penalties? Not only has Oor Willie given it, he's been told to go to the screen and still awarded it .

But they are beyond criticism for some Rangers fans.

Souttar off and MacCausland on - is Pedro back in the dug-out?

Our only hope is a freak snow blizzard hitting the east end of Glasgow. More chance of that happening than us winning from here

Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better. Sad fact is, bottle or no bottle They are superior to us both on and off the pitch.

They don't need to be a good team. As long as they are better than we are, they'll win the league every year. Don't be fooled by the narrative that Clement has worked miracles with this squad. Even if we won all our remaining games we'd have less points than we had last season. We've continued to regress (as have they) but they still have more than enough to beat us both in a one off match and over the course of a season. Horrible to say but it's the truth.
