Rangers have parted ways with head coach Philippe Clement, the Scottish club announced in a statement on Sunday.

Rangers have sacked manager Phillippe Clement after Saturday’s loss to St Mirren. The Glasgow giants have taken action after a torrid run of form which sees them trail Celtic by 13 points in the Scottish Premiership. Pressure had ramped up on the Belgian manager following a shock defeat to Queen’s Park in the Scottish Park earlier this month.
