Rangers boss in Celtic reference as he addresses ace absence with ‘we don’t want to burn him alive’ message.
After Celtic and Aberdeen’s thrilling victories in the closing minutes, Rangers manager Philippe Clement has emphasised that his
On Sunday afternoon, they defeated St Johnstone 2-0 at home. Winger Vaclav Cerny scored both of their goals against the Saints, but
Clement also issued an injury report on both Tom Lawrence and midfielder Connor Barron and added: “Tom Lawrence has a small
injury, nothing big, but it’s too risky to let him play minutes. We must be careful not to tire out Connor Barron, who has been playing a
lot of minutes in recent weeks and months and is very vital.
The Dutchman hinted that Rangers didn’t want to take any chances with Barron or Lawrence in order to prevent things from getting
worse. They have enough depth in their roster to make changes, and they are now taking advantage of the international break to
improve on the training pitch.
They are five points behind both Celtic and Aberdeen in the table. Their rivals have both won all seven of their opening fixtures but
play each other next so points will be dropped there.
On Sunday, October 20, the Gers will return to action as they attempt to maintain their current momentum with a trip to Kilmarnock. They have won their last three league games.
Despite their lacklustre performance, Clement expressed satisfaction with their three points against St Johnstone, saying that winning
and maintaining a clean sheet was more important than anything else. As you witnessed tonight and in earlier games, the two teams
ahead of us needed to score in the final five minutes, so we must respect every opponent.
“Every game must be taken seriously, and we did just that. However, we must also improve the calibre. It concludes a three-day run of
games, and maybe the team lacked that level of freshness in that regard. For the game to be truly over, I wanted them to score the
third or fourth goal. We missed some possibilities to be more composed, like the two goals we scored, and the custodian made some
excellent saves because we didn’t do that.

where we could have had more calmness like the two goals we scored.”
