“Fans Left Speechless After Philippe Clement’s Latest Tweet Following Rangers’ Appointment of Danny Röhl”
Rangers supporters have been left in shock after a recent post on social media by former manager Philippe Clement sparked massive discussion and concern online. The Belgian coach, who was relieved of his duties earlier this month, shared a cryptic tweet that has since gone viral just hours after Rangers officially confirmed the appointment of Danny Röhl as the club’s new manager.
The timing of Clement’s post, coupled with its tone, has left fans divided and uneasy, with many questioning whether the message hinted at deeper issues behind the scenes at Ibrox.
A Sudden Message That “Broke the Internet”
Not long after the club’s announcement introducing Röhl, Clement took to X (formerly Twitter) and posted a brief but loaded message:
“Sometimes what’s broken can’t be fixed overnight. But loyalty and respect should never be negotiable.”
Within minutes, the tweet began circulating widely among Rangers supporters, accumulating thousands of likes and hundreds of comments. Fans immediately began speculating about who or what Clement was referring to. Some interpreted it as a veiled criticism of the club’s leadership, while others felt it reflected his disappointment at how his exit was handled.
“Clement just burst the internet,” one user wrote. “This one is spreading like wildfire. It’s not ending soon.”
Clement’s departure had already raised eyebrows within the Rangers community. Despite a challenging season marked by inconsistent form and injuries, many believed the manager had begun to stabilize the team. His sudden dismissal last week came as a surprise, especially given that he had been publicly backed by the board just a few months earlier.
The arrival of Danny Röhl, the 35-year-old German tactician known for his high-intensity pressing and analytical approach, has been met with cautious optimism. Röhl, who previously served as an assistant coach at Bayern Munich and Southampton, becomes one of the youngest managers in Rangers’ modern history.
Club insiders described Röhl as “energetic, modern, and ambitious,” qualities that reportedly impressed the Rangers hierarchy during interviews. However, Clement’s tweet has somewhat overshadowed what was supposed to be a fresh start for the club.
Fans React With Mixed Emotions
The fanbase remains deeply split. Some supporters expressed sympathy for Clement, praising his professionalism and commitment during his tenure. Others urged the club and fans alike to move forward under Röhl’s leadership.
“Philippe deserved better,” wrote one fan on social media. “He gave everything to this club. That message says a lot about what’s going on behind the scenes.”
Another responded differently: “Röhl deserves our full support. Whatever happened in the past, it’s time to rebuild.”
Football pundits have also weighed in. Scottish sports journalist Alan McLeish commented that Clement’s post “wasn’t reckless, but it was definitely intentional.” He added, “It reads like a man who feels hurt by the way things ended. Managers rarely tweet like that without a reason.
As of Monday evening, Clement’s tweet had been shared over 15,000 times, trending across Scottish football circles and sparking multiple debates on fan forums and sports radio. Rangers have yet to issue an official response, and neither Clement nor his representatives have provided further clarification.
Meanwhile, Röhl is set to address the media later this week in his first press conference as Rangers manager. His main task will be to shift attention back to the pitch and win over a fanbase still processing the emotional aftermath of Clement’s sudden exit.
For now, one thing is certain: Philippe Clement’s words have reignited conversations about leadership, loyalty, and transparency at Rangers FC and it appears this story is far from over.
