Philippe Clement, the manager of Rangers, desires frequent referee meetings in Scotland.

Rangers manager Philippe Clement is advocating for regular meetings between referees and managers to foster better understanding and transparency in football.

His comments come after a significant increase in refereeing errors highlighted by the Scottish Football Association’s VAR independent review panel.

Despite the rise in mistakes, Clement remains relatively unconcerned and instead emphasizes the importance of communication and learning from errors.

He suggests that scheduled discussions outside of match settings could alleviate tensions and facilitate constructive dialogue about the game’s rules and incidents.

Drawing from his experience in Belgium, Clement believes such meetings could benefit Scottish football by providing managers and referees the opportunity to share perspectives and improve the overall product.

He acknowledges the need for both sides to learn and grow, including managers understanding decisions better and referees offering insights into match actions and managerial behavior.

Clement also reflects on his own behavior, admitting to being too temperamental in a recent match and expressing a willingness to learn from open discussions.
