Puzzled Neil Lennon has issued a stern warning to Rangers manager Philippe Clement ahead of the Scottish Cup Final, insisting that changes must be made as his team is simply not up to the task of facing Celtic.
Clement, who has yet to secure a victory against the Hoops during his time in charge, will have one last opportunity to salvage a trophy before the season comes to a close. With Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers eager to claim the silverware, Lennon – now at Rapid Bucharest – advises Clement to shake things up in order to come out on top in the derby clash at Hampden Park.
The former Celtic manager believes that a shift in tactics and personnel is necessary for Rangers to stand a chance against their dominant rivals. Suggesting a more attacking approach with additional support for James Tavernier in defense, Lennon urges Clement to think outside the box and disrupt Celtic’s usual flow of play.
Lennon emphasized the need for Rangers to play to their strengths and adapt their strategy to counter Celtic’s speed and creativity. Pointing out weaknesses in the team’s performance against their rivals, Lennon stresses the importance of finding a way to level the playing field and narrow the gap between the two clubs.
In conclusion, Lennon’s message to Clement is clear: it’s time to make bold changes and take risks in order to turn the tide against Celtic and secure victory in the Scottish Cup Final.
