Philippe Clement: Rangers boss warns against title-winning thoughts ahead of Aberdeen visit
As the fight for the title takes another turn, Rangers manager Philippe Clement claimed he is not considering their opportunity to lead the Scottish Premiership for the first time this season.
Rangers may take the top spot, at least for a whole day, if they defeat the Dons by three goals or more on Tuesday, thanks to Celtic’s mistake against Aberdeen.
With a game remaining, Clement’s team is three points behind their Old Firm opponents, who they have defeated in their last four league meetings since then.
However, the Belgian, who was crowned January’s Premiership Manager of the Month, maintains that nobody should be considering Celtic before playing Aberdeen.
“I hope not in my thoughts, but also not in the changing room. It is all about you and your thoughts for the upcoming game,” he stated to Sky Sports News.
It is not my responsibility as a player to consider how to integrate each and every player back into the team in the upcoming weeks and months.
“Although I’m happy right now, it never seems to work out that way for me to simply relax on the couch and enjoy.
“We must maintain this competitiveness, this hunger, and this drive.
This squad isn’t performing to its full potential because of recent additions that we need to incorporate into the group and the number of players returning from injuries.
“We can only grow in the next couple of months.”
