Ryan Jack given Rangers clarity by Philippe Clement as he reveals what elevates his fifth permanent Ibrox boss

Ryan Jack is currently on his fifth permanent Rangers manager.

So far, he’s played for Pedro Caixinha, Steven Gerrard, Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Michael Beale. But the way he speaks about new gaffer Philippe Clement makes you feel the Belgian might just prove to be his best boss yet. In recent weeks, the Scotland midfielder has looked like he’s enjoying a new lease of life at Ibrox. Having replaced the injured Nico Raskin in Clement’s engine room he’s been a key player in closing the gap on Celtic at the top of the Premiership, reaching the Viaplay Cup Final and picking up three vital Europa League points against Sparta Prague.

Jack has a spring in his step under the new manager. And he’s excited about what the future might hold with Clement at the helm. When Beale was sacked by the Ibrox board a month ago, Rangers’ players needed clarity and direction. Jack says Clement has given them plenty of both.

On Thursday night, after their victory against the Czechs, he told players to dampen down their celebrations. Not that Clement wasn’t pleased with their performance.

But immediately after the 2-1 win, his focus was solely on today’s league game at Livingston. So much so that his squad was back to work first thing on Friday morning.

Jack has been impressed by Clement’s presence, attention to detail and winning mentality since he arrived in Glasgow. And as he prepared for a trip to the Tony Macaroni Arena this afternoon, the 31-year-old said: “The manager has been brilliant.

“Straight after the Sparta game, he told us: ‘I know you probably want to enjoy the night and the win – but our thoughts are straight on to Livingston’. That’s the type of manager he is.

“We were straight into work on Friday, getting prepped and ready
