Philippe Clement signs new Rangers deal until 2028

Published 2nd Aug 2024

Rangers manager Philippe Clement has agreed terms on a new extended deal until the summer of 2028.

The Ibrox boss is set to enter his first full season with the club with the campaign kicking off on Saturday away to Hearts.

Clement took over from Michael Beale in October of last year and led them to early success with a League Cup victory.

However, Rangers fell short in the Premiership and lost in the Scottish Cup final to Celtic.

The 50-year old has been open about his need to rebuild the squad this summer with several experienced faces leaving.

Speaking to the club's official website, Clement said: “I have a really open and transparent relationship with the board - in every meeting that we have had you feel the passion and desire to make the club better and that is the same for me.

“I have fallen in love with the club, with the fans, the stadium and with the city. I see huge potential and now we need to make the club better and stronger in every department, that is our goal, and we are all really aligned about that.”

Chairman John Bennett added: “As I intimated in my recent RangersTV interview, Philippe and I had a far-reaching conversation at the end of May.

"Our shared ambition was clear: the rebuild of the Rangers men’s first team for the long term as well as short term.

“At that meeting we shook hands on this new contract and the board is delighted that the formalities have been concluded.”
