Published on: 24 February 2025

Nigerian duo Leon Balogun and Cyril Dessers are set to get a new coach after Rangers Football Club parted ways with head coach Philippe Clement yesterday night following the Scottish Premiership defeat against St. Mirren at Ibrox, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

13 points behind table toppers Celtic, the defeat inflicted by St. Mirren on Rangers broke a decades-long streak, being their first such loss since 1991. This jarring result adds to the growing list of disappointments Rangers have faced this season, placing further pressure on the club."

With further update yet to be provided on their new manager, it is expected that assistant manager Issame Charai will take charge of the team having just arrived few weeks ago.

However, former manager Steven Gerrard has been linked with a possible return and another name on the list is former midfielder Barry Ferguson who is reportedly expected to oversee the club's affair until the end of the season.
