Philippe Clement’s knack for seizing the right moments as a player has carried over into his role as the head of the Rangers. With an impressive record of success in national cup finals during his playing days in Belgium, he now hopes to instill that winning mentality in his current team as they face a pivotal match against Celtic in the Scottish Cup Final.
Having won four out of five national cup finals in Belgium, Clement knows what it takes to come out on top in high-stakes matches. This winning spirit is something he is eager to impart on the Rangers players, who are looking to break a disappointing streak in derby games. As they head into the Scottish Cup Final, Clement is urging his team to grasp the moment and make the most of their opportunity to secure a trophy.
Key to their success will be starting the game strong and avoiding costly mistakes, such as red cards which have plagued them in recent matches. Despite mounting injuries, Clement may have to call on John Lundstram, who was suspended after a reckless tackle, to bolster the team in the final. While some fans have questioned Lundstram’s future with the club, Clement remains focused on making decisions based on training and player performance rather than emotions.
As they prepare for the final showdown with Celtic, Clement is emphasizing the importance of discipline and smart decision-making on the field. Winning the Scottish Cup would not only be a significant achievement for the club but also a personal milestone for Clement as he looks to make his mark in Scottish football. With a strong focus on seizing the moment and making the most of their opportunities, Clement is determined to lead the Rangers to victory and break the cycle of disappointing performances in derby matches.
