FORMER RANGERS midfielder Ian McCall reckons Philippe Clement may have come to a full stop against St Mirren.

After the San Francisco 49ers frenzy and talk of a takeover this week, Ibrox enthusiasm evaporated as Stephen Robinson‘s Buddies won in Govan for the first time in 33 years.

Second half strikes from Mikael Mandron and Toyosi Olusanya stunned Rangers – and forced the boss to APOLOGISE to supporters for the display.

He said it was “by far the worst I’ve seen in all my time here”.

Boos rang out to meet the full-time whistle – again.

The Gers were back at home for the first time since their shock 1-0 defeat to Queen‘s Park in the Scottish Cup.

And they fired a blank again against the Buddies.

Clement fronted up after the match – but sighed as he was quizzed on Gers’ NINTH defeat of the season – then APOLOGISED to supporters who streamed out of the stadium long before the final whistle.

Speaking on BBC Sportsound the Belgian boss said: “I can say only sorry, and apologise for me and the team because this is not what Rangers teams need to show on the pitch.

“We all know this was by far below the standards that we all expect.

“I’m always fighting until the end. I wanted to be on the field to fight, I cannot do that, so my task is to do it from the sidelines, and to get the team in the right mindset.

“That was not the case today, so I need to find the solution for that.”

But the manager’s demeanour hinted at something deeper according to pundit Ian McCall.

The former Rangers player – and Partick Thistle manager – said: “He’s obviously a thoroughly decent man, but he sounds beaten.

“There was a slower presentation of his words.

“If there is going to be a takeover, then I don’t think the current board can do anything. But today to me seems like a full stop.

“You see some managers losing their jobs and you think it’s wrong, with others you can see the reason.

“He sounds beaten. The players didn’t show any fight for him whatsoever.

“I don’t know where they go from here, but if I was Clement, I’d be very worried.”

The boss was also quizzed on his future and rebuffed the question insisting “I don’t talk about hypothetical questions.”

Four savvy ways to enjoy your daffodils for longer this spring[/caption]

But, like with any flower, there are tricks to get the most out of daffs.

Enjoy them for longer with this bunch of clever ideas.

BUD NOT BLOOM: A gorgeous bunch of daffodils gladdens the heart, but it’s always best to buy them when the buds are still closed.

This is because they will come into bloom quite quickly, so you can enjoy them for longer if you buy them in bud.

THE DAFF DARK SIDE: Did you know daffs give off a toxic sap? This means they’re not great to mix with other flowers in an arrangement. That’s especially true when it comes to the other bright February bloom, tulips. But you can mix them with other kinds of daffodils.

If you really want to use them in an arrangement with other flowers, soak the cut stems overnight in cold water first to release the harmful substance, which can also irritate skin.

DAZZLING DISPLAY: Daffodils can look amazing in whatever vase you use. Even a simple jam jar will work with the happy flowers. But experiment with different-shaped vessels to get a look you love.

A narrow-top vase will bring all the trumpet-shaped heads together for an intense burst of colour. A wider opening will give a more relaxed and rustic look.

SNIP TIPS: Whichever vase you choose, cut around 3cm off the stem before placing in a fairly shallow amount of cold water. Change the water every two to three days to keep the flowers fresh for longer.

They are thirsty flowers so make sure they always have enough to drink.

Avoid displaying them near direct sunlight or heat, such as on a sunny windowsill or near a radiator. Also, keep them away from a fruit bowl and other food.

OLEKSANDR Usyk was spotted asking for Anthony Joshua just seconds after arriving for Beterbiev vs Bivol 2.

Fans claimed that the heavyweight champion’s “aura is crazy” after watching his slick building entrance in Saudi Arabia.

Usyk donned flash sunglasses and a Ukrainian inspired outfit as he arrived for the blockbuster ‘Fight Card of the Century’.

The 38-year-old could be seen walking in with his entourage, with many of his pals matching his yellow and blue Stone Island attire.

Usyk was videoed immediately shaking hands with Liam Smith, whose brother Callum handed Joshua Buatsi the first defeat of his career in the first fight of the night.

But it was Usyk’s interaction with AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn that had everybody talking early on.

The unified WBC, WBA, and WBO heavyweight champ could be hearded quietly chanting: “Eddie, Eddie, Eddie” before he shook hands with Hearn.

Usyk then quizzed the Matchroom owner: “Is Anthony Joshua here?”

To which Hearn simply responded: “Yes”.

And fans believe it could be a sign of things to come later as there’s been talks of a possible third fight between AJ and Usyk.

Another wrote: “Bros aura is crazy .”

A third said: “AJ will probably try to call him out later. But there’s no point.”

Anthony Joshua is also in attendance for Beterbiev vs Bivol 2[/caption]

The Watford boxer was easily beaten in their first two bouts – before Usyk then did the double over Tyson Fury, who retired last month.

Hearn also stated that his fighter would like “another crack at Daniel Dubois” – who holds the IBF belt.

Dubois was looking to defend his IBF title on Saturday after coming off a brutal knockout win over Joshua in September.

Dubois pulled out of Saturday’s co-feature heavyweight title match against Joseph Parker with illness.

With Usyk and AJ both in the building, they’ll watch Congolese boxer Martin Bakole step in to fight Parker on two days notice.

But everybody has truly travelled to Riyadh to watch two of the very best fighters in the world rematch as the headliner.

Artur Beterbiev will rematch Dmitry Bivol for the undisputed light-heavyweight world championship on Saturday.
