Chris Sutton, a former player for Celtic, feels that a delay in Ibrox’s reconstruction plans is impeding Philippe Clement’s attempts to rebuild his team and enjoy a successful start to his first full season as Rangers’ manager.
After “a delay in a materials shipment from Asia” hindered development on their Copland Stand, the Premiership runners-up from the previous season are anticipated to propose changes to their first home games of the 2024–2025 season.
There have been speculations that such a request could involve asking for date swaps, postponing matches, or even moving the location, however it is unclear exactly what such a request could involve.
According to Sutton, Clement’s ambitions to guide Rangers into the Champions League may be affected by the current circumstances, which might put an end to any dreams of winning a “£40 million jackpot” that would accompany advancement.
The former NBA player stated in a Daily Record article: “Rangers supporters don’t care about shipping containers and missing steel. It is absurd that they are unable to attend their team’s games at Ibrox.
Listen, if Rangers had to play Motherwell and Ross County on the moon, they should be winning in the first month, but that’s not the idea, and it also needs to affect Clement’s prospects of qualifying for the Champions League. In recent seasons, Ibrox has shown to be a formidable ally in Europe.
Losing it in the qualifying round and not qualifying for the league round of the game may easily result in the disappearance of another £40 million jackpot.
Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin, 46, agreed to take over the team earlier this year and has now formally started his tenure after leaving Swedish club Elfsborg.
The team will not be in Europe when the new season begins after the team struggled to a seventh-place finish in the Premiership last season, but a return to continental competition is on the new manager’s list of priorities, even though he has refrained from making firm promises about what he hopes to achieve over the coming seasons.
“You cannot promise anything,” the Swede stated, “but when we get to the camp, we’ll have some conversations with the squad.” My dream is that we will make the necessary moves, establish stability in European areas, and work toward a goal.
I can assure you that we will exert every effort to improve and develop as a group and a club.
And that’s when you start to see effects. Thus, we must adhere to that. It is not a good idea to come here on the first day and make a lot of promises.
