Sponsored by. ANY Rangers fans have seen enough and they've now dramatically voted with their feet. Ultras group the Union Bears followed through with their plans to sensationally WALK OUT during the clash with St Johnstone in a protest against the club's current situation and leadership.

Rangers went into the game 18 points behind Celtic in the Scottish Premiership table amid another horror run of form. Failure to win their two games either side of that derby victory has seen the pressure piled on manager Philippe Clement, with many Gers fans in Dundee on Thursday turning on the boss.

Travelling supporters booed and chanted for Clement to go after the Light Blues were held to a 1-1 draw by the Dee at Dens Park. The Rangers Supporters Association publicly demanded Clement be removed as manager. Clement insisted he still had the '200 per-cent backing' of the Rangers board.
And on Saturday afternoon, new Ibrox CEO Patrick Stewart gave Clement a vote of confidence. He said: "We are backing Philippe at this time as a board.". Stewart did, however, warn Clement that results must improve with the Gers in the midst of a hideous run away from form, dropping 20 points from a possible 33 this season in the league.
However, the CEO's comments didn't go down well with Gers fans and sparked a furious response. Ultras group the Union Bears subsequently released a blistering statement criticising the board and insisting it's time for supporters to take action. They urged fans to join them in walking OUT of the stadium during the 55th minute of the match in protest against those running the club.
