Rangers flop in title acid test as Kilmarnock play party poopers during Clement anniversary bash – 3 talking points

dailyrecord.co.uk

Philippe Clement marked a year in charge of Rangers this week - but Kilmarnock spoiled his party and raised major questions over the title credentials of his side.

In fact, never mind just title chances. You can even question their chances of finishing in the top two. Rugby Park has been an unhappy hunting ground for the GLasgow giants over the years and the stage was set for another tough afternoon on the plastic with Storm Ashley battering the UK - and so it proved again as Marley Watkins netted late on to see the Ibrox side blow their big chance at closing the gap.

The forward made sure the party poppers were silent and the champagne is on ice for Clement as they remain six points behind high-flying Celtic and Aberdeen after a dismal display in Ayrshire.

In truth, it could have been worse had Robbie Deas not strayed offside before heading beyond Jack Butland in the first half.
