What Philippe Clement did to me at Rangers was not on and even my teammates knew it was a disgrace

Jack criticises Clement for how he was treated in his final season, saying teammates backed him up over the 'disgraceful' exit after seven years.

Ryan Jack has criticised Philippe Clement for the way he was treated during his final season at Rangers. The midfielder, who joined on a free transfer from Aberdeen in 2017 and made nearly 200 appearances including 19 in the 2020/21 title-winning season, says he was only used sparingly after Clement's arrival in October 2023 and was left out of the matchday squad for a Dundee clash at Ibrox without explanation.

Jack revealed he attended that match with his family thinking it might be his last home game, but received no communication from Clement before the game despite being at the stadium all day with the team. He said the experience convinced him both that his Rangers career was over and that Clement would struggle in the role. Jack claims teammates including Jack Butland, Conor Goldson, James Tavernier and John Lundstram told him the manager's treatment was "an absolute disgrace".

The 34-year-old, now without a club after a two-year spell in Turkey, says he attempted to speak directly with Clement about his future but his manager would not engage in conversation.
