Philippe Clement has a message for those Rangers fans who leave Ibrox early
Rangers boss Philippe Clement says he wants to see Ibrox packed to the rafters at full-time for the rest of the season and beyond.
The Belgian wants the early Ibrox departers, dubbed the Subway Loyal, to make every effort to stay in their seats and cheer for the team at the conclusion of games since he now recognizes a strong bond between the players and the supporters.
With only a few minutes remaining, it’s not uncommon to see Ibrox half empty as thousands of fans make sure they can avoid the worst of the traffic in Govan and the city center after the game.
However, with Rangers and Celtic tied for first place in the Scottish Premiership, Clement believes his first team needs all the support they can get from the stands and only wants the Ibrox crowd to remain longer because “every second” matters.
Philippe Clement message to Rangers fans
Philippe Clement was quoted in the Daily Record as saying: “It could (come down to goal difference).” Thus, every little assistance counts.
“I hope people can remain longer because the players go around the stadium and to every corner (to congratulate the fans) because they genuinely want to show respect to everyone who was rooting for them.
However, I am also aware that people lead private lives, and juggling all the traffic and departing buses is not an easy task. To witness the games, fans travel from all over Scotland and even abroad.
“We had a meeting a few months ago to discuss a number of issues at the club. One of the guys asked if there was any way to change the way the buses are parked because they were traveling from Northern Ireland and had to leave late, making it difficult for them to board the boat on time.
“I am aware of and cognizant of the numerous additional problems. Not everyone lives nearby, so they can all just wait.
“However, the players want to give everyone the credit they deserve for their support of the team.
