Philippe Clement insists he was unfazed by Celtic’s draw at Aberdeen ahead of Rangers’ game against Livingston.
The champions dropped points in the Premiership title race at lunchtime as Dons caretaker Peter
Leven guided the Reds to a 1-1 draw at Pittodrie. Rangers did their bit to heap more pressure on the
Hoops by cruising past Premiership strugglers Livingston. Fabio Silva, Rabbi Matondo and Todd
Cantwell scored as the Ibrox club won 3-0 to close the gap at the summit of the table to just three
points. Of course, Clement’s team boasts a game in hand too.
Speaking to BBC post-match, the Belgian was adamant he was not paying attention to the results of
other teams. “I’m not busy with Celtic or other teams,” the 49-year-old said. “I am only busy with
winning games. I will be busy with the ranking at the end of the season – the last two or three
games. “We need to focus on ourselves. When you start to focus on others and how they are playing
you lose focus on yourself. I see a team growing month by month, and playing more of the football I
want to see.
“We’re not quite there yet, not at our best. It will be intriguing to combine our recent signings as
well. My players should not be distracted by other thoughts.
“It’s not just momentum I want throughout the entire season. There is the word momentum, or
moment. I want this level of consistency to last the entire season and to elevate us. I want stability
more than momentum.”
