Celtic leader changes tune as Philippe Clement and Rangers shadow looms large after Parkhead boast.
Medals are never awarded in February, and Philippe Clement will not be depending on Rangers to win the title simply because he managed to bring us level with Celtic for 24 hours.
Despite not focusing on the league table until the end of the season, the Gers manager has built a team that resonates with the fans at Ibrox.
On the other side of the city, Callum McGregor does not appear as confident as he did following the previous Old Firm Derby, which was won by Rangers under Philippe Clement.
Philippe Clement leading Rangers pressure as Celtic creak
Speaking after his side drew with Hibs at Easter Road thanks to two debatable penalties, the Celtic captain lacked confidence when he was named man of the match at Parkhead.
It was evident that he thought it was business as usual when he told sponsors and hospitality that “they hadn’t played anyone yet” in reference to Rangers’ good form under Philippe Clement since he came.
Just six weeks later, he is “hoping” that the win at Easter Road will be the turning moment in Rangers’ double-digit lead at the top of the table.
With a three-goal triumph over Ross County, the margin has been closed.
Even in the post-match footage shared on social media, McGregor isn’t as ecstatic as he usually is after such a victory, Kyogo Furuhashi appears unconcerned, and Liel Abada is already down the tunnel.
Three vital players who aren’t quite firing on all cylinders, and two that Brendan Rodgers dropped despite having top names on Ange Postecoglu’s squad sheet.
This, of course, means nothing if the Rangers do not capitalize on it, but Philippe Clement is not one to slow down.
