Philippe Clement’s recent Q&A session with Rangers fans at Ibrox was akin to a Donald Trump interview, according to Michael Gannon.
On page 69 of the Sunday Mail’s print edition [15 September], Gannon said the Gers manager would have dreaded the meeting with supporters at Edmiston House during the week but that the questions levelled at him were always going to be vetted.Clement’s side head into Sunday afternoon’s visit to Dundee United eight points behind both Celtic and Aberdeen in what is already considered to be a must-win.
Gannon explained: “Clement would have had the date circled in his calendar along with other dreaded appointments, like root canal treatment and a colonic. Yet the Rangers manager came through it pretty unscathed.
“Let’s be honest, it was never going to be a Frost v Nixon job. These events never are. It’s more like a Donald Trump interview on Fox News, with questions heavily vetted. Even the ones that got through were never going to be stingers.
