Rangers fans demand 'biased' Steve Clarke is sacked

Rangers fans have called for Steve Clarke to be sacked by Scotland after the 5-1 defeat to Germany in the Euro 2024 opening match.

Fans have suggested the boss left out the likes of Billy Gilmour and Lawrence Shankland from his starting XI due to their links with Rangers.

Gilmour, now of Brighton, and Shankland of Hearts were both boyhood fans of Rangers, with Gilmour a product of their youth academy.

Accusations of bias towards the national team boss are nothing new, but following the heavy defeat, the claims have resurfaced given the lack of Gers players involved.

Given the extent of the defeat, calls for Clarke’s head have begun already and he will need to save face in the two remaining group games as he falls under pressure.

Rangers fans rage at Steve Clarke after Scotland loss

Scotland fell a goal down after just 10 minutes and were 3-0 down before half-time, with Ryan Porteous’ red card for a disgraceful challenge making matters worse.

Clarke’s decision to leave John Souttar out of the squad, while ex-Gers Gilmour was on the bench despite his ability, left Rangers fans raging as they labelled him “bitter”, “clueless” and “biased”.

A very Celticy XI. Clarke just doesn't like Rangers players or supporters does he? Axed Souttar.
Dropping Gilmour is crazy.
Never learnt from last Euros where he stuck with ODonnell and picked Christie over Adams.
Blew up in his face. https://t.co/TdSeEtSVOb— Dougie (@DougstarFF) June 14, 2024

And Clarke dropping Gilmour should see him dismissed this morning. Billy Gilmour is Scotlands best player by a million miles. Why Clarke was allowed to drop him and play his pet tarriers is beyond me. Are his assistants just nodding dogs? BG paying for being a Rangers man.— Just a Rangers fan (@StruthWilliam) June 15, 2024

How Gilmour isn’t in that team is beyond me. Clarke will do everything he can to have no Rangers links in that team ????????‍♂️— Gers_lad ???????????? (@RFC_1872) June 14, 2024

He’s ex Rangers @jonnyrmcfarlane you shouldn’t be astounded. Clarke is a bitter individual— Colin Wheeler (@cdwcdwcdw) June 14, 2024

Gilmour is a Rangers man,just as Shankland is. No way Clarke is going to play these proven goalscorers.— dougie morrison (@pacificshelfx) June 15, 2024

Yeh but you can single out a ex Rangers player. Ralston should never be near an international team. Clarke set the team up to help his mates— #1shitestirrer (@baileya72) June 15, 2024

Clueless little liar who's been sacked everywhere he's been. We lost the match as soon as the team was picked. Before a ball was kicked. The hammering WAS preventable. Clarke chose club loyalties over national loyalties.— Just a Rangers fan (@StruthWilliam) June 15, 2024

Clarkes obsessive hate of anything Rangers or as he’d say “hun” is killing our National team.

Macgregor over Gilmour is a scandal.

Shankland should be on.

Tactics are shite.

Fuck you Steve Clarke.— Wolfy???????? (@themononokean) June 14, 2024

Drop McGregor for Gilmour

Shankland on for Adams

McCrorie on for Ralston

But Steve Clarke won’t because they lads are Rangers men.#SteveClarkeOut #ScotlandAreBigots #FuckCelticAndTheIRA— Lt. Dan Taylor (@Leutenant_Dan) June 15, 2024

Steve Clarke mindset:

"I'm going to disregard any player who has or has had links with Rangers FC."

If I were Billy Gilmour I'd be filling Clarke's hip flask with pish.

He's never a manager for our national team. Too biased, hateful and bitter to make reasoned team…— russell (@ruservup) June 14, 2024
