Kris Boyd has insisted Rangers supporters are fed up of excuses from Philippe Clement.
The Ibrox hero launched into a rant after the Scottish Cup loss to Queen's Park as he claimed the Belgian boss is clinging onto his job.
Boyd was left fuming after the cup shock against the Scottish Championship side.
And he has demanded answers from the boardroom over whether Clement is only remaining in place after the disastrous result due to finances.

On Sky Sports, Boyd said: "Philippe Clement is hanging on to his job - just.
"But the Rangers fans want to know - and I know that Patrick Stewart has said it wasn't a financial decision, in the past - but right now the Rangers fans need to know if Philippe Clement is only there because of finances."
He added: "In terms of progression, there is nothing for any Rangers fan to feel optimistic about Philippe Clement carrying this club forward. Philippe Clement has stumbled across a few things this season and he has went with it.

"The youngsters at Old Trafford, you kind of got the feeling they were proving a point on giving youth a chance. They went on and did really well and now the Rangers fans are saying 'give the youth a chance to play' - Philippe Clement done that at the weekend with Bailey Rice, and then took him off at half-time because he needed a more experienced player. So there is a lack of trust from the manager to the players."
Fuming Boyd then lambasted Clement over his "excuses" as he stated fans have had enough as he backed criticism thrown at the Ibrox boss in recent weeks.
"Ultimately, Philippe Clement speaks about budgets when he is coming up against clubs that are superior to Rangers in Europe or Celtic, but doesn't flip it the other way," Boyd said. "He talks about chances created - nobody cares how many shots you have had on goal. The Rangers fans are fed up with Philippe Clement's excuses.
"Clement has already had a lot of criticism - and rightly so, in my opinion. 13 points behind Celtic in the league, out of the Scottish Cup to Queen's Park at home and lost the League Cup final to Celtic. Yes they have qualified for the last 16 of the Europa League but domestically - when I was growing up - was the be all and end all. And right now, it's not good enough."
Boyd added: "You talk about not wanting the rinse and repeat of managers - you have to do that until you find the right manager. You can't just say because we sacked the last three managers we are going to continue with this one - it doesn't work like that."
