Rangers manager Philippe Clement has no regrets about his brutally honest assessment of his squad, insisting his approach will galvanise the team ahead of their crucial Europa League clash against Viktoria Plzen.
The Belgian boss made headlines after delivering a stark evaluation of his players following their recent performances, but he remains unapologetic. "I expect a reaction," Clement declared. "When you demand high standards, you get high standards in return."
No Room for Complacency
Clement’s candid remarks came after Rangers’ mixed run of form, with the manager refusing to sugarcoat his expectations. "I don’t believe in hiding the truth," he said. "If we want to compete at the highest level, we must be ruthless—both on and off the pitch."
Europa League Test Looms
With Viktoria Plzen next on the agenda, Clement is confident his squad will rise to the occasion. "European nights at Ibrox are special," he noted. "The players know what’s at stake, and I trust them to deliver."
The Gers will need a strong response after a challenging domestic run, but Clement’s unwavering belief in his methods suggests he’s ready to steer the ship back on course.
