Ex-Rangers captain Lee McCulloch has admitted he can see shades of the legendary Ibrox manager Walter Smith in Philippe Clement.
Ex-Rangers captain Lee McCulloch, left, and former Manchester United defender Wes Brown, right, promote the friendly match between the Ibrox and Old Ftrafford clubs in July at Murrayfield in Edinburgh yesterdayLEE McCulloch was on hand at Murrayfield yesterday to promote Rangers’ glamour friendly against Manchester United in July - and he was salivating about the prospect of the Scottish and English behemoths facing each other once again.
The man who won the Premiership twice on the final day during his trophy-laden spell in Govan is, however, pretty certain about one thing. The cinch Premiership this term is set to go the full distance. “It is so tight,” he said. “Really, really tight. It could go right to the wire.”He is also convinced that current Rangers manager Philippe Clement will be able to negotiate the final nine league games in the weeks ahead despite the pressure he will be under to deliver the silverware.
“Concentrate on yourselves, take each game at a time. Obviously the more the games tick off the higher the pressure. But just concentrate on yourselves and forget what anybody else in the league is doing.” “I would’ve liked to play for him. I’ve only spoken to him a couple of times, but he reminds me of Walter a bit. I’m 100 per cent not comparing them. However, there’s a steeliness to him, he has a presence, a seriousness. That is what Walter was like.
