Philippe Clement is no longer the manager of Rangers after the Ibrox club officially announced the news. The Belgian had failed to keep up with Celtic, as many before him, and after a terrible run of form, he has been shown the exit door. This had been coming for a while to be honest. Clement had been handed a long-term extension just earlier this season and it was clearly the wrong decision on the part of Rangers. If he did not have that contract, maybe the Belgian would have been sacked earlier. Celtic fans decided to crack some light-hearted jokes following the departure of Clement. One wrote: "Thanks for the memories big man." Thanking Clement seemed to be the theme of the day for Celtic supporters. Another wrote: "Thanks for the memories in the last 16 months Philippe. You will be welcome back at Celtic Park anytime." A third added: "Pain. Agent Clement. We will always appreciate you." It will be interesting to see who Rangers end up appointing as their new manager as they seek to replace Clement. Steve
