Ex-Premier League star names where Rangers blame for Ibrox unrest resides and it's not with Philippe Clement

Rangers have had a turbulent start to the Premiership season.

Paul Robinson has put Rangers unrest at the door of the Ibrox board as they look to get their Premiership campaign back on track.

The Light Blues head into Sunday’s game against Hearts on a healthy seven points from four games in the Europa League, in the new league phase format, and have booked a Premier Sports Cup final spot against Celtic.

In the league though, it has been a bumpy ride, sitting 12 points off Aberdeen heading into meeting Hearts and Celtic could lead by that margin if they beat Kilmarnock prior to Rangers playing the Jambos. A number of key figures - like CEO James Bisgrove - have left while the club’s net losses increased by £4.1million to £17.2million in the 2023/24 term.

Former Premier League star Paul Robinson - who counts Leeds United, Tottenham, Blackburn and Burnley amongst former clubs - has had his say on the Rangers unrest. And he puts it down to boardroom level.

He wrote for Football Insider: “The loss to Aberdeen would be disappointing. The fact that they are so many points off Celtic, where they’re not where they want to be, but there’s so much more unrest at Rangers off the field.

“The club ownership, the boardroom with the manager, you wonder who’s making the decisions on the manager’s future. They’re certainly not where they want to be; every game is a big game for Philipp Clement at the moment for his future.

“If he’s not getting the results, there’s always going to be questions asked. He’s got to pull things around consistently because you think that they’ve just turned the corner, and then results turn again.

“Players’ performances have been indifferent, basically, they just haven’t been good enough this season, and inevitably the starts with the manager.”
