Clement dramatically changes his mind about Rangers loss

Rangers manager Philippe Clement has once again bewildered Ibrox supporters after changing his mind on the Kilmarnock performance during his pre-FCSB presser.

Speaking before Rangers face the Romanian side, Clement said on the disastrous loss at Rugby Park:

“It was a big disappointment after the game in Kilmarnock. Nobody was happy with that level of performance. Now we have to switch the mindset and react as quick as possible, we need to be ready for the next game.”

But after the match itself, Clement had said:

“Second half we did better, in the moment you are pushing, you are getting the chances also, you are hitting the cross bar, we have several corners, you have these moments (but) you get a goal against.”

So which is it, that we’re unhappy with the performance or much happier with it?

If our own manager can’t actually decide how well we played at Rugby Park and changes his mind after a few days, then how can we trust his judgement on pretty much anything?

True, immediate post-match reactions from anyone involved in a football team can be more unreliable than most, with fans infamously knee-jerk after a bad result, and guilty of some scathing responses which can calm down in the hours and days later.

But Clement is in a position that he’s being paid big money to be balanced and direct, and clearly with contradictions like these, he isn’t.

One minute he’s pleased about certain aspects of the display at the weekend, the next he’s gutted and ‘disappointed’.

Of course, it’s human prerogative that we are allowed, as a species, to change our minds now and then. Lord knows if we never did that we’d be in trouble.

But Clement is more damned by saying at the weekend that anything was good about that display, and that was a comment he should never have made.

Now we’re getting the honesty. Or… are we?

Did the boy cry wolf too much?
