Six Rangers news conference highlights as Philippe Clement shares details of a covert team outing

Philippe Clement is largely to blame for the great energy that Rangers are currently feeling.

Only a few months prior, the Ibrox team was in disarray and looking at yet another dismal season after

trailing Celtic by seven points, which led to Michael Beale’s firing. If the Light Blues defeat managerless

Ross County by two goals tomorrow night, they will have the chance to pass their fierce rivals at the top

of the league for the first time this year.

It’s been a spectacular comeback, and if the Premiership trophy ends up in Govan in May, the title

victory will be remembered as one of the club’s best in history. There is a long road ahead, but Clement is

seasoned enough not to let his players lose sight of what may await them. The Belgian coach was in

excellent spirits as he addressed to the media today, and Football Scotland has picked out the six most

important aspects.

Injury update.

“Ryan Jack will not be in the squad since he is still recovering from an injury. Leon Balogun trained with

a mask; we still need to modify the mask; I have normal experience

The importance of Celtic’s goal difference

“I don’t like it when people claim teams are vulnerable (Ross County). Players are always proud, as are

coaches who are given an unexpected opportunity. I had this twice. I was the temporary coach when a

coach was fired, so you are extremely motivated and give your all every day and night. We anticipate a

difficult game, as we always do; we must win, break down the wall, and perform exceptionally both with

and without the ball. Ross County added seven new players over the winter break, thus they are not the

same team as they were during the first half of the season.”

Rotation is key.

“I believe modern-day football prohibits it (playing the same squad every week). You can see that with

Europe’s elite teams, this is no longer true. If we talk about ten games in a row with the same eleven in

modern-day football, with only two days of recovery and all the physical abilities they must bring to

every game, you will never have the best team. That is why we need a larger team with similar skill levels,

so they can share their experience.

Secret night out

“Yes, we have been working on it as well. I even bonded a game a few weeks ago with the goal of getting

them to go out together, which they did and had a great time. It was a lot of fun two days later, too, while

we were training! So those are also very significant. Human connections are really important. They must

work hard together, but they must also trust one another and be present when someone makes a

mistake. Human relationships are also highly crucial. In that sense, it’s a truly great dressing room at the

moment.

According to the new players’ interviews, it’s a great place to be right now. It’s good to have an example

from the beginning of the season, when things were lot more difficult and stressful. So, when I feel it is

important, I remind them of it. It’s two distinct universes, but they must remain in heaven while keeping

their feet on the ground. There is a lot of fun, but also a lot of hard work.”

Characters in the Dressing Room

It’s hard for me to pick select one or two players, even if it’s vital. When new guys move into the building,

I give them advice on where to live, where to shop in Glasgow, and where to eat on their own. Right now,

the group is working together to perform a number of small chores, which shows how they have become

a cohesive unit. I think it’s fun to live with the team currently. They enter the building and are happy to

be there, even after a day off.

It pleases them to be back. There is a positive mood that radiates and leads to other things. Therefore,

it’s crucial that everyone maintains their footing.

admiring the league standings in the event that Rangers win?

I refuse to glance at the league table. If we win the game, I will be pleased. That is all there is to it.
