'Big decision to be made'

The pressure has once again ramped up on Rangers manager Philippe Clement.

With just three wins in 11 away league games this season, and a 15-point deficit on leaders Celtic, can the Belgian survive?

Former striker Rory Loy believes that if the club are to change manager, they will have to think carefully about the timing in order to give any new boss time to assess and rebuild.

"It's now 10 January, so if you decide Clement is the man for the job, and you're going to let him sign three, four, five players on permanent contracts, then you're running the risk of going 20, 25 points behind, and then the pressure becomes too much, you've got a new manager coming in and the process starts again," Loy said.

"So I think given the time of year that it is, there's a big decision to be made. If they were to bring somebody else in now, they do have a little bit of free rein to assess the squad, look and move forward from there.

"There are signs that Clement can turn it around, but it's not exactly light at the end of the tunnel, it's just a glimmer."
