The upcoming Old Firm clash between Celtic and Rangers is already a highly anticipated event, but tensions have been heightened even further after Philippe Clement, manager of Rangers, accused Brendan Rodgers of disrespecting his team. This accusation adds an extra layer of excitement to what could be a pivotal match in the Premiership title race.
Despite Celtic being in the lead, Rodgers expressed his eagerness for an entertaining match against Rangers in an interview following his team’s win over Hearts. Rangers, on the other hand, managed to stay close to Celtic with a victory over Kilmarnock, despite only scoring four goals against the ten men of their opponents. This result means that Rangers still have a chance to level with Celtic at the top of the table.
Clement, though looking forward to the challenge, was taken aback by Rodgers’ comments and emphasized the importance of respect towards opponents. He acknowledged the difficulty of facing a well-organized defensive side and despite scoring four goals, he is aware of the need for more efficiency in front of goal. Clement remains optimistic about his team’s chances and is eager to see them continue their progress in the title race.
