With man Utd and Tottenham to take on, Clement is preparing sees less challenging draws in the th next competition up
The Ibrox club were paired with the likes of Manchester United, Spurs, Lyon and Olympiakos on Friday. Clement is delighted that his side will test themselves against some top European opposition. But he’s adamant that it’s a tougher draw for Gers than some Champions League outfits. The Belgian boss - who will also face Nice, Steaua Bucharest, Malmo and Union St-Gilloise - said: “It’s challenging but it’s a good thing.
“I watched both draws and when I see our group, I think some Champions League draws are - I won’t say easier - but maybe less challenging with fewer big clubs. We’ve got Tottenham and Man United and some Champions League groups aren’t like that. So it’s a great challenge for my squad. When you play against the best you learn the most. I had it before in Brugge.
“Our Champions League games there helped young players learn lessons because you’re tested in different ways. So it’s a positive for the club but in terms of results, the higher the level, the more difficult it is. But we’re going to go for it.” Follow Record Sport on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for all of the up-to-the minute breaking news, video and audio on the SPFL, the Scotland national team and beyond.
