Monday Jury: Philippe Clement’s Rangers Future Takes Centre Stage as Celtic’s Strongest XI is Debated

The Record Sport team convenes to reflect on a captivating weekend of Premiership action and gaze into the crystal ball, anticipating the key talking points on the agenda at Rangers’ forthcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM).

Celtic’s emphatic victory, despite making six changes to their starting lineup, has sparked a lively discussion about Brendan Rodgers’ strongest XI. Keith Jackson posits that Rodgers has finally assembled a squad boasting quality options in almost every position, enabling him to make changes without compromising on performance.

“The champions are in great nick,” Jackson observes. Michael Gannon concurs, describing Rodgers’ selection dilemma as a “happy headache.” Gannon’s preferred lineup features Paulo Bernardo in place of Arne Engels, with Alex Valle and Luke McCowan also knocking on the door.

Scott Burns and Andy Newport propose slightly different starting lineups, but both concur that the team that started against Brugge in midweek is the strongest available to Rodgers.

Meanwhile, the spotlight shifts to Rangers, with Philippe Clement’s future at the helm taking centre stage. Keith Jackson anticipates a “feisty” AGM, with patience wearing thin among the Rangers faithful. “No.1 on the agenda has to be the immediate future of manager Philippe Clement and will he see out the month of December if he suffers another Old Firm beating in the League Cup Final,” Jackson notes.

Michael Gannon identifies several pressing concerns that will dominate the AGM agenda, including Clement’s future, the budget for the January transfer window, and the club’s strategy for bridging the gap between themselves and their Old Firm rivals.
