Philippe Clement's Rangers record amid falling win rate

Pressure from the stands is beginning to mount on Philippe Clement at Rangers.

Yesterday's 1-0 defeat to Kilmarnock was a damning indictment of the club's season so far - all too predictable.

Marley Watkins put the Ibrox side to the sword in the Scottish Premiership encounter. 

The game looked to be heading for a stalemate, however, over the balance of the play and chances created, Killie edged it on the afternoon.

The result leaves Rangers six points behind title rivals Celtic and Aberdeen after eight matches.

A stunning stat to be revealed in the aftermath of Sunday's encounter is that when Rangers won at Rugby Park in February, Clement had 18 wins from 20 league matches. Since it's 9 from 18.

So, with Clement's win rate clearing faltering, how does he compare with other managers Rangers have had since their return to the top flight in 2016?

We've taken a look to see, using permanent appointments only - so, there is no Steven Davis, Graeme Murty or Jimmy Nicholl on our list...


Philippe Clement

Clement has a poorer win percentage than Michael Beale, although he's been in charge for more competitive games. 

On the flip side, having managed 11 fewer games than Giovanni van Bronckhorst, the Belgian has a superior win percentage. 

There are obvious caveats to consider here too, with a decent portion of Mark Warburton's games coming in the Championship. 

Meanwhile, Steven Gerrard's win percentage might not be the best on the list, it's certainly the most impressive given the length of time he was in charge for.
