The Gers boss also explained why James Tavernier has been dropped but insists he isn't second choice right back
Philippe Clement has revealed that Dundee Utd rejected an offer from Rangers to head straight to Ibrox for their pre-match meal and team meeting. United have been on the road from Dundee since 9.30am and had still not arrived at the Govan ground by 2.50pm due to an accident on the snow covered roads, meaning the Premiership clash has been pushed back to 3.45pm.
But they prefer to go to the hotel first rather than come here. 'They chose to make that preparation before the game. We need to focus on our own game and our own things.' Captain James Taverner is dropped for this one in favour of Dujon Sterling and Clement explained why, saying: 'Dujon had a long period when he had an injury problem and could not go fully the last few weeks. He's feeling better and need sa a rhythm to go to his best level.
