The VIP Rangers managers who sinking Philippe Clement can’t help but cling on to
Despite overseeing Rangers' first EVER Scottish Cup home defeat to lower league opposition and blowing their chances of lifting a trophy this season, Philippe Clement doesn't believe he'll be sacked.
Queen's Park turned Ibrox even more toxic by pulling off a Scottish Cup shock, leaving the Belgian staring down the barrel of a season without silverware. Yes Gers are going good guns in the Europa League, but that will be a tall order given the quality of the teams they can still face and banking on lifting that to save him would be optimistic in the extreme.
However, when asked after the Spiders debacle whether he felt he was for the chop given he won't win anything domestically this term, Clement pointed out that it has happened before. He might be under pressure but the man's not wrong. He's far from the first Ibrox boss to be left empty handed but still hangs on to his job. Record Sport looks at who has survived...
Given what Celtic achieved that year, it was perhaps understandable that Symon kept his job despite the team across the city claiming a domestic Treble and becoming the first British club to lift the European Cup. He had managed to guide Rangers to the Cup Winners Cup Final, but they couldn't make it a Scottish double on the continent.
A shock Scottish Cup defeat to Berwick Rangers that January was a blot on Symon;s copybook however, and he left Ibrox on 1 November 1967.
White was appointed Symon's assistant that summer, but found himself thrust into the top job in November 1967. It was not to be a successful reign, with White becoming the first ever Rangers manager not to win a trophy during his time in charge.
Celtic secured a league and league cup double, with Dunfermline lifting the Scottish Cup. That
