Rangers manager Philippe Clement has issued a coy response to the public backing he received from Patrick Stewart earlier this week.
The Ibrox CEO spoke out on Wednesday, explaining that the club are still behind Clement.
Stewart cited Rangers' successful Europa League campaign as a key reason as to why the Belgian remains in his post. Clement was asked about these comments today.
While the 50-year-old was glad to receive the backing from his higher-ups, taking a bigger outlook on things, he admitted that not being the sole public spokesperson for Rangers is a key positive: "I don't think it was a normal situation, the first part of the season to be the only spokesman of the club," he said.

"About a lot of things that were not sport. So I'm happy that now somebody inside of the club can speak outside and address what is living in the club. So, of course, it's important. But it's important in every club in the world. It's a normal thing in every club in the world."
Rangers return to Ibrox this weekend as they host St. Mirren in the Scottish Premiership.
It is their first game after the mammoth news that 49ers Enterprises appear set to take over in Govan.
Clement and Co. will be looking to build on a 3-1 win over Heart of Midlothian at Tynecastle last Sunday.
