Ally McCoist reckons Philippe Clement's job is safe at Rangers - because his beloved club can't afford to sack the beleaguered boss.

Clement's future at Ibrox is in grave danger after the Light Blues fell a staggering 11 points behind runaway leaders Celtic at the weekend. But it's understood the Belgian will remain in charge, at least until Thursday's Europa League clash away to Nice.

Yet while Clement is set to stay in the dugout, McCoist does expect sweeping boardroom changes and told talkSPORT that he expects the club to announce the appointments of ex-Manchester United supremo Patrick Stewart as chief executive and Tory peer Malcolm Offord as chairman in the next 24 hours.

Asked if Clement will be sacked, McCoist said: "It won’t happen. I don’t think the club is in a financial place to do that anyway, but it’s been poor. The boys were at the game. I didn’t make the game on Saturday. The boys said it was really, really poor. Miles off it.

“It’s going to be a struggle to finish second this year. A cup final coming up against Celtic. League Cup final against Celtic who again, had another great result over the weekend. We’ve got the cup final and I’m going to Nice to watch Rangers on Thursday. I think the uncertainty above him hasn’t helped him, there’s no doubt about it.

"Yes, of course, results also haven’t been good enough. I get that totally but at this moment in time, I think there’s going to be news breaking later today regarding changes in the board and changes in personnel above him, which is long overdue.

"So hopefully that will come, which will hopefully give them a little bit of stability and they can turn things around a bit But they ain’t catching Celtic this season sadly and it breaks my heart, as you know to say that."
