This is the moment that Derek Ferguson made a brutal quip about Rangers refraining from sacking Philippe Clement.
The Belgian remains in charge of the Ibrox club despite last weekend's humiliating Scottish Cup exit at the hands of Queen's Park.
Clement is due to speak to the media this afternoon, where he will certainly be pressed for answers about his future. Rangers take on Hearts in the Scottish Premiership this Sunday.
Ferguson appeared on Open Goal's latest podcast alongside Si Ferry, James McFadden, Gordon Dalziel and Paul Slane.

In a short segment, the topic switched from Scottish football, to American football, following Sunday's Super Bowl.
Faddy, clearly very knowledgeable about the sport, explained why he wanted to tune in. He also explained why Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs failed to live up to the hype, as the Philadelphia Eagles ran out winners.
Ferry showed his American football lingo by stating that Mahomes continually got 'sacked' by his opponents.
And it was here that Ferguson showed his witty sense of humour.
After a momentary pause, which helped with his comedic delivery of the joke, he said: "Pity big Clement wasn't playing, eh?"

Slaney clearly enjoyed his colleague's thinly-veiled swipe, as he immediately picked up on it.
Angry fans have called for Clement's dismissal since full-time at Ibrox on Sunday night.
However, it seems that new Gers CEO Patrick Stewart will refrain from making that call, as he yesterday insisted that the decision NOT to sack Clement was not financially motivated.
