Rangers Boss Philippe Clement Calls for Patience as Celtic Pursues Treble

Philippe Clement's Promising Vision for Rangers

Rangers fans can expect to see an "interesting" transformation in their team during the upcoming match against Hearts this Saturday, live on Sky Sports. Manager Philippe Clement expressed optimism about the team's future potential despite acknowledging that it may take months for the new-look squad to find their stride.

Exciting Changes at Ibrox

On the same day that Clement extended his contract at Ibrox until 2028, he emphasized the need for patience as he implements his vision for the team. Having signed nine players, including recent addition Robin Propper from FC Twente, Clement aims to reclaim the Scottish Premiership title from Celtic. However, struggles with paperwork may prevent some new signings from playing this weekend.

The Path to Improvement

Clement stated, "I am 200 percent sure we are going to be much better in October, November, and December." This optimism stems from the significant changes within the squad, with many new players and young talents who still need time to acclimatize. "It’s a squad with a lot of potential, more potential than last season," he added.

A Strong Connection to Rangers

After securing his new contract, Clement shared his passion for the club, saying, "I have fallen in love with the club, with the fans, the stadium, and the city." His previous success, including winning the League Cup, showcased his ability to rejuvenate the team's performance. Clement is committed to improving the club across all departments with the board fully aligned with this vision.

Brendan Rodgers' Ambitious Goals for Celtic

Meanwhile, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has voiced his determination to enhance his squad in pursuit of a domestic treble and European success. As he prepares for the Scottish Premiership opener against Kilmarnock on Sunday, Rodgers acknowledges the need for additional quality amidst a solid preseason performance.

Maintaining Momentum

During his second spell at Celtic, Rodgers celebrated a strong finishing season, winning 11 of the last 12 matches. He is now focused on retaining this momentum, even though his squad has seen minimal changes, apart from the arrival of goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

Champions League Aspirations

Rodgers expressed his expectations for both domestic and European competitions, stating, "Our objective is to win every domestic trophy," emphasizing the excitement of the new Champions League format. He also noted the importance of consistency in their performance and tactics, believing that pre-season preparations have laid a strong foundation for success.
