Rangers head coach Philippe Clement is facing strong calls for his dismissal after his beleaguered side were booed off the park following the underwhelming 1-1 draw with Dundee at Dens Park on Thursday.
The Ibrox boss insisted the Rangers hierarchy were “200% behind him” following their latest poor performance on the road, but calls for him to be removed as Ibrox boss are growing, with the Belgian failing to win any of the clubs last four away games. Rangers away form has been their Achilles heel during the first half of the campaign, with the dismal boxing day defeat at St Mirren followed up by three successive away draws. The club’s impressive 3-0 home win over Celtic on January 2 is now a distant memory.
Clement has mustered just 13 points from a possible 33 on the road in the Scottish Premiership, with the Ibrox giants now facing an almost impossible task of wrestling the league title from their Glasgow rivals Celtic, who have moved an astonishing 15 points clear in the title race at the halfway stage of the season.
Former Rangers striker Kris Boyd was left incensed after the team’s failure to beat Dundee on Thursday, telling Sky Sports that Clement’s time at Ibrox must come to end, insisting his tenure “can’t go on”. But should the Rangers board decide to end Clement’s time as head coach, who is the favourite to replace him? Here are the latest odds*.

5. Kevin Muscat - 4/1
The ex-Millwall defender has built up a reputation for playing attacking, possession-based, high-intensity football. Muscat was strongly linked with the role after Michael Beale was sacked in October 2023, but the Ibrox hierarchy turned to Clement instead.

6. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - 3/1
The ex-Manchester United icon has been out of work since being dismissed at Old Trafford in 2021, but still holds a decent reputation in the game after his impressive work with Malmo in his first managerial role. Certainly a blockbuster appointment and a huge name. Could Solskjaer be what Rangers need right now? | Matthew Peters Photo: Matthew Peters
7. Sean Dyche - 5/2

8. Steve Cooper - 9/4
His underwhelming stint at Leicester City this season didn't appear to damage his reputation too much, with the Welsh boss still held in high regard following his impressive work at Nottingham Forest in recent years. Unlikely to be available for free for too long, the Rangers board could opt to make a move for Cooper before he is taken off the market. | Michael Regan/Getty Images Photo: Michael Regan/Getty Images
