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*.

9. Derek McInnes - 2/1
The former Rangers midfielder has worked wonders with a smaller budget at both Aberdeen and Kilmarnock over the last decade. Consistently in the conversation when it comes who could be the next Rangers boss. But would he finally fancy a crack at the Ibrox job - and would Rangers make an approach? | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
10. Gary O'Neil - 7/4
The head coach built up a reputation for being one of English football's most impressive young coaches after a strong spell with Bournemouth and Wolves. However, he came unstuck at Molineux this season and struggled for results before being sacked by the club. Could Ibrox be the perfect place for him to rehabilitate and rebuild his reputation? | Carl Recine/Getty Images Photo: Carl Recine/Getty Images
11. Russell Martin - 6/4
The recently sacked Southampton boss is no stranger to Ibrox having spent time at the club as a player. Has build up a positive reputation for playing attractive football with Swansea City, MK Dons and the Saints, but struggled to get results in the English Premier League following Southampton's promotion. Could he be the ideal candidate for the Ibrox hierarchy? He is the favourite to replace Clement, should he be sacked with odds of 6/4. | Dan Istitene/Getty Images Photo: Dan Istitene/Getty Images
