Beleagured Rangers manager Philippe Clement insists he won't change his side's formation despite being nine points behind in the title race.
The Belgian watched his side lose 2-1 at Pittodrie on Wednesday in the Premiership, a painful result for the Ibrox club's fans who have taken to social media en masse to demand change.
And while some say he who keeps repeating the same mistakes is doomed to failure, Clement feels doing so would only create confusion in his players.
He said: "Changing a formation in this moment, I think it will only create more doubts. Also, how are you going to change the formation if you can train on that one time?

"How you're going to train on that in how you build, how you create chances, how you defend. Everything in a session of one hour. So those are also the things you can build on things.
"If you have some foundations, if you have something solid, you can build on the next step. We're not that far yet with the group to do that in this moment. So it's a difficult one to turn that around in one day with one training."
Rangers face Motherwell in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final on Sunday with Clement's future in the balance.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
