John Gilligan and Philippe Clement’s relationship at Ibrox will be tested if Rangers drop more points in the Scottish Premiership title race, according to Andy Walker.
The stand-in chairman has been quick to heap praise on Clement, admitting he has been left impressed by the Belgian despite the mixed start to the campaign on the blue half of Glasgow [Heart and Hand, 23 September].Although Go Radio pundit Walker believes it is good the pair get on with one another, he believes tension may be raised between the manager and chairman if the gap to Celtic at the top of the table extends.
Speaking on The Go Radio Football Show (23 September, 1:07:25) he said: “The strength of their relationship will really be tested if Rangers were to drop any more points in the league.
“It’s already a bit of a gap and we saw it on the field of play when Celtic won 3-0 just a couple of weeks ago. If that gap were to extend to eight points over the next, I don’t know, month or so, you’ll certainly see the strength of their relationship then.Because the noise from the Rangers support and the anger will be very evident.”
