Replacing an abysmal manager and turning us round far more than just a new manager bounce has given Clement credit. He got the league cup, gets credit for that, he'll get slightly more credit if we can win the Scottish Cup.
But, he also loses credit for how he's set up his team in the old firms upto now and for the dreadful showings against Ross County and Dundee.
If there are suitable options on the bench for the last 3 games and he still sticks with the old guard, he'll lose a ton of credit with the fans because it'll end in failure, and he sure as hell doesn't need that going into next season and the European qualifying games.
