Bailey Rice did not deserve to be scapegoats of the rangers while Philippe Clement goes into self-preservation mode

Bailey Rice did not deserve to be scapegoats of the rangers while Philippe Clement goes into self-preservation mode

When Philippe Clement entered work for the Rangers for the first time, he had to wonder what it was.

THE director took its ruins from a team at the top of Scottish Première in a few months and seemed ready to bring back more silverware Ibrox Trophy cabinet after winning the League Cup during its first attempt.

During the 12 months that followed, things went from bad to worse with Clement now against his word and principles in a desperate act to save his job Rangers.

Philippe Clement was wrong to hang on to Bailey Rice

By not replacing Kieran Dowell and Rabbi Matondo, the boss of Gers was always going to have to turn to the academy For the rest of the season.

With Connor Barron also injured,, Bailey Rice Was promoted to the third choice behind Nicolas Raskin and Mohamed Diomande and had the chance to show what he can do.

At 18, he still has a lot to learn, however, what he did not deserve was to be hung at halftime with his team approaching Queen’s Park, with Michael Stewart marks the “deplorable” decision.

Rice may have had a quiet opening period, but he did little harm too.

The line forward was static and the ball continued to move from side to side, generally by the semi-centers behind it.

What Clement should have done was to give Rice a chance, tell him to get on the ball, dictate the game and make things happen.

Now it seems that his manager does not trust him.

As if it was a symbolic gesture against a team that the rangers should have beat comfortably.

Does Clement really believe in the being of young people?

The same goes for Findlay Curtis, who had to watch a defender was sent to save the game instead of playing a winger in his natural position.

Curtis, which has just signed a new long -term contracthas already proven that he can identify a pass from a defense of the defense in the previous round, and yet he stayed on the bench.

Clement cannot continue to expect the same players to go to the well every week, some of them already seem to run on smoke.

These are the cards to which the Belgian has been treated, if he does not like them, he does not have to stay.
