Rangers manager Philippe Clement delivered a scathing assessment of his squad's mentality following a disappointing start to the Scottish Premiership season. The Belgian boss didn't mince words after watching his side drop points in their opening fixtures.
'Drop the Ego' - Clement's Fiery Message
The Ibrox gaffer made it clear that certain players need to check their attitudes if they want to succeed this campaign. "Some players need to drop their ego at the door," Clement stated bluntly during his post-match interview.
Early Season Struggles Raise Concerns
After high expectations following last season's performance, Rangers' stuttering start has alarmed fans and pundits alike. Clement emphasised that the team's problems stem from mentality rather than ability.
Key issues highlighted by the manager include:
- Lack of consistency in performance levels
- Failure to maintain concentration throughout matches
- Players not taking personal responsibility
Fan Reaction Mixed After Honest Assessment
While some supporters appreciate Clement's direct approach, others worry about potential dressing room fallout. The manager remains adamant that his tough love approach will pay dividends as the season progresses.
"We have the quality," Clement insisted, "but talent means nothing without the right mentality."
