Rangers' 4-0 thumping of Hibernian was perhaps more than even Philippe Clement could have wished for in his debut as manager at Ibrox, writes Martin Dowden.
All eyes were on Ibrox as Philippe Clement embarked on his first outing in charge of Rangers after a hectic week since his arrival in Glasgow.
"I'm most happy that I saw synergy between players and the fans from the first minute," Clement told BBC Scotland. "That is one of the biggest strengths of this club - one that we need to have to win trophies."Clement was, indeed, warmly received by a home support who are desperate for a reset from which they can rebuild. That fanbase left Ibrox undoubtedly impressed.
"The best teams in the world make mistakes - what is important is your reaction and our reaction was good," Clement said. "You see that, although it was only two days, the players want to do the things that we showed them.Two former Rangers players were equally enthused by the early evidence on offer.
"Clement has spoken about small steps and he can't change everything at once. Well, he's had a positive result today and a real positive performance. There was a real support coming from the stands."He got an energy back in this stadium and a belief that maybe this season things can be salvaged."
