First impressions first, I’ve got to say I’ve been impressed by what Philippe Clement has had to say for himself in his first few days as Rangers boss.
I’ve sat down and watched the couple of interviews he’s given this week as well as the press conference held during his official Blue Room unveiling and he seems like a straight talker to me.Some guys manage to twist themselves in circles during these sit downs with the media and it usually comes back to bite them.
But from what I’ve seen of Clement so far, I’m encouraged. As a player, you want your manager to give you clear instructions and Clement doesn’t look like the kind of guy who is going to leave you wondering about what he expects on and off the park.
It’s been interesting to hear from James Bisgrove on how he and the board sought out Graeme Souness’ advice and assistance while going through the interview process.
