Rangers manager Philippe Clement responds to a Celtics query while delivering a scathing title race judgment.

Philippe Clement expresses that closing the gap on Celtic holds no interest for him and the Rangers players, despite their recent 3-0 victory against Livingston narrowing the point difference to three.

A three-goal win against Aberdeen on Tuesday could propel Rangers to the top on goal difference.

While Celtic faces Hibs on Wednesday, Clement, who recently earned Manager of the Month for January, emphasizes a focused determination to improve.

He dismisses the idea of joint-top placement affecting their mindset, stating that their primary focus is on their own game, respecting opponents, exploiting weaknesses, and securing points while delivering entertaining football for the fans.

Clement underscores the team’s strong mentality, where every player, whether starting or coming off the bench, contributes to the collective effort.

He stresses the importance of concentrating on each game, emphasizing the proven approach of taking one step at a time to achieve success.

Despite acknowledging the need for long-term planning, such as managing player injuries, he emphasizes the importance of a short-term, game-by-game approach to secure positive results.
