Celtic 3-0 Rangers: This is what the coach said

Celtic 3-0 Rangers: This is what the coach said

Rangers coach Philippe Clement: “A 3-0 defeat is very tough, but we didn’t reward ourselves.

“We started as the better team, with two clear chances. You have to take advantage of these moments if you want to win Old Firm games.”

“We are a young team, only just coming together. Celtic’s starting eleven has a lot of experience.

“We know that we have to work on a lot of things. We knew that before the game. So it’s positive that we made a good start, but there are also a lot of details that we have to work on.”

To bridge the gap: “By working hard and making things better. Financially we’re not going to make it, so we have to work harder and better.”

To take over a title fight: “I am absolutely convinced of that. There are still 34 games left.”

“Don’t forget what happened last week. It was the best result for the club in about four years. It’s not black and white – it’s grey, maybe dark grey.”

“Nobody wants to lose 3-0, but we have to draw the right conclusions. The right conclusion is that with more efficiency we could have achieved a 3-2 or 3-3. They had four shots on goal, we had four shots on goal. A lot of things are the same, but the result is not.”
