Philippe Clement 'losing the Rangers dressing room' as diehard left deflated by Aberdeen defeat

Derek Ferguson reckons Philippe Clement is losing the Rangers dressing room as the Ibrox club's season goes from bad to worse.

Gers crashed a staggering NINE points behind Aberdeen and Celtic after slumping to a 2-1 defeat at Pittodrie last night. The Light Blues - who this week posted an alarming net loss of £17.2million in their annual accounts - now face a major battle to finish SECOND this term, with their faint title hopes already dead and buried.

Fans are now calling for the manager's head, with Kris Boyd insisting that Clement NEEDS to go after a dire start to the campaign. However, the Belgian remains adamant that he CAN turn things around, bizarrely claiming that Wednesday's loss was one of Rangers' best performances of the season.

Clement's comments in his press conferences have left Rangers fans scratching their heads for several months but last night appears to be the final straw for some. And former midfielder Ferguson reckons his underperforming squad will be questioning Clement's ability to turn things around.

Sickened Ferguson told BBC Sportsound: "I think he's starting to lose the players. He's losing me. When he first came in I was impressed by the way he turned things around but he seems to seeing a different game from the one I'm seeing."
