The Belgian hit the milestone and is determined to keep marching forward
For every few steps that Rangers have taken forward during Philippe Clement ’s year in Glasgow, he’s had to watch them stagger in reverse by just as many.
“But it’s good that we won a trophy along the way. I wanted more. We were close on more, but not good enough. We had to do a big rebuild in the club in every sense, on the pitch, off the pitch, so many things happened. If Clement wanted excuses, he certainly wouldn’t be shy on reasons to explain away the fact a squad that has been overhauled with nine new faces this summer is only a single point better off than the shambles left behind by his predecessor Michael Beale at the same stage last term. No permanent chairman, no CEO, a stadium cock-up that saw his side locked out of Ibrox for the first month of the season, a never-ending list of injuries to key men.
Clement’s side are certainly going to need all the stamina they can muster as they begin a hectic winter schedule. Between now and their final Europa League fixture at the end of January, Rangers are scheduled to play 24 matches. During that period, they have just four free midweeks - including two that come during the November international break.
“For sure, something can be done . I don't think that anybody in the business thinks this is sustainable for years to come. But those are decisions made above our heads so we need to focus on our job and to get the players fit and to keep them fit.
