Philippe Clement is confident he has the long term backing of the Rangers board and insists “we are going to stick together for the next couple of years”.
The Ibrox club have slumped to nine points behind Celtic and Aberdeen at the top of the Premiership after an underwhelming start to the season.
Clement believes Rangers can produce another turnaround like this time last year when the team returned to the title race after being a similar distance behind when the Belgian was appointed.
Clement signed a new contract extension in August that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2028 but his future is subject to increasing speculation following a 2-1 defeat by Aberdeen at Pittodrie on Wednesday night.

Sione Tuipulotu believes his ascent to the Scotland captaincy is a result of putting his “heart and soul” into his rugby since he joined Glasgow in 2021.
The 27-year-old Australian – who qualifies for Scotland through his Greenock-born grandmother Jacqueline Thomson – was appointed skipper ahead of this month’s Autumn Nations Series.
Tuipulotu will lead Gregor Townsend’s team for the first time when he wins his 27th cap in Saturday’s Test against Fiji, three years on from his debut against Tonga and some three and a half years after arriving at Scotstoun from Japanese side Shizuoka Blue Revs.
