Philippe Clement’s Bold Claim: Rangers Can Still Catch Celtic

Rangers manager Philippe Clement has made a bold claim that his team can still catch Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership table. Despite being 11 points behind Celtic, Clement remains optimistic that his team can turn their season around.

Clement’s comments came after Rangers’ labored 1-0 victory over St Johnstone. The win was secured thanks to an own goal, rather than a moment of brilliance from Rangers. Despite the unimpressive performance, Clement remains confident that his team can still challenge for the title.

“I think Manchester City a few years ago was a really good example because everybody didn’t give them any chance in December and everything was bad,” Clement said. “But they won a treble.”

Clement’s comparison between Rangers and Manchester City’s treble-winning team is a bold one. Manchester City’s team was filled with world-class players like Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland, whereas Rangers have struggled to put away teams at the bottom of the table.

St Johnstone barely laid a glove on Rangers, but Clement’s team failed to impress in response, stumbling to victory. The performance was a far cry from the dominant displays that Manchester City produced during their treble-winning season.

Clement is keen to downplay the growing gap between Rangers and Celtic at the top of the table. He insists that his focus is solely on the immediate future, rather than worrying about the points gap.

“I’m not counting,” Clement explained. “I want the mentality from my players that they look to the next game and put all their energy into that and not start calculating or whatever.”

Clement’s words may be aimed at galvanizing his squad, but they’re unlikely to strike fear into the hearts of Celtic fans. Celtic have been relentless in their pursuit of the title, with Brendan Rodgers’ team building a commanding lead at the top of the table.

Rangers’ patchy displays, by contrast, have left their fans relying more on hope than expectation. As Clement urges his players to “win every game,” the reality is that Celtic will likely drop fewer points than Rangers have already this season.

Celtic fans will be amused by Clement’s bold claim, but they know that their team is in a strong position to win the title. Rangers, on the other hand, have a lot of work to do if they want to catch up with Celtic.

The Scottish Cup draw has also been made, with Celtic facing Kilmarnock in the next round. Rangers, meanwhile, will face a tougher test against Hearts.

In other news, Celtic has been slapped with a €27,000 fine by UEFA for blocking public passageways and a pitch invader during their Champions League match against RB Leipzig. The fine is a relatively small one, but it’s a reminder that Celtic needs to be mindful of their behavior during matches.

Celtic’s Champions League campaign has been a mixed bag so far, with the team earning a 1-1 draw against Club Brugge in their last match. The team will be looking to build on that result in their next match against Dinamo Zagreb.

Overall, Clement’s bold claim that Rangers can still catch Celtic is an optimistic one. While Rangers have shown flashes of brilliance this season, they have also been inconsistent and have struggled to put away teams at the bottom of the table.

Celtic, on the other hand, has been relentless in their pursuit of the title. With a strong squad and a experienced manager in Brendan Rodgers, Celtic is well-placed to win the title and make a deep run in the Champions League.
