Rangers’ manager, Philippe Clement, appears to be feeling the heat of the title battle based on his recent remarks. Following a draw, the Belgian coach dubbed his team as “moral winners” and expressed frustration towards Brendan Rodgers in anticipation of the upcoming Glasgow Derby.
During his post-game interview with Sky Sports, Clement stumbled over a prepared response, blurting out, “we will have some fun also.” However, his discontent with Rodgers became more evident during the subsequent media conference, where he deemed the remarks disrespectful.
Clement didn’t mince words as he stated, “It’s not really respectful towards my team. I will never say things like that about an opponent. But okay, we will see.”
Looking ahead to the Old Firm clash, Rangers’ boss Philippe Clement responds to Rodgers’ suggestion that Celtic will enjoy themselves. Rodgers, a seasoned manager well-versed in battling till the last moment, strategically fueled the flames and baited Clement into a reaction, a tactic that seemed to work effectively.
Notably, Clement has a history of making disparaging remarks about Celtic ever since taking charge at Rangers. It appears that he is grappling with the setback of losing their lead and now faces the daunting task of securing three crucial points at Celtic Park.
