Philippe Clement delighted with Rangers unity in win over Aberdeen

 

Following the 2-1 victory over Aberdeen, which saw the Ibrox side draw

level with Celtic on points at the top of the table, Rangers manager

Philippe Clement was all praise for both his team and the supporters of

the club. Rabbi Matondo gave the hosts the early lead, but Bojan Miovski

put Aberdeen even just before halftime.

Rangers had to play the final 10 minutes with ten men when Dujon

Sterling was sent off, but Todd Cantwell scored the game’s winning goal in

the second half.

Clement said Rangers would not have won the game months ago, but he

was happy with how his team handled setbacks.

“It’s crucial to maintain composure and carry on with your work, rather than giving in to doubts, when you receive a knock right before halftime,” he stated.

“There is a significant change now compared to a few months ago in that everyone still believes and works hard to achieve the desired outcome. Ten minutes before the game ends, there is a second scenario that follows the first one.

“Even though it wasn’t truly a struggle, you still had to fight throughout those minutes. We persisted, which made it harder to win the game even though we had opportunities to score a goal.

“It was incredible to feel this energy coming from the stands in the last ten minutes, so maybe at the end it is good to show everybody how aligned everybody is in the club now, the fans and players.”

Clement stated that he has not yet decided whether to file an appeal against Sterling’s red card. Referee Don Robertson’s dismissal was examined by VAR, who invited him to reevaluate his call, but he remained with his initial judgment after seeing the challenge’s replays.

Yes, Clement responded, “that’s something we need to decide as a club.” “I never decide on these things by myself. For me, it was a difficult choice. Dujon tripped and collided with the opponent’s toes.

“Up until now, I haven’t seen many red cards that allow you to touch the opponent’s toes. I cannot recall a single moment if I were to look back.
