News about Rangers: Balogun to consult a specialist, Clement unmoved by Warnock at Aberdeen, why Jack won’t play, no thoughts of Celtic
When the Dons travel to Ibrox on Tuesday night, Philippe Clement does not anticipate that Neil Warnock, the new
manager of Aberdeen, will make any notable adjustments.
The 75-year-old, who has overseen a number of clubs including QPR, Sheffield United, and Cardiff, is the talk of
Scottish, if not British, football after being named Pittodrie manager for the remainder
of the season on Monday morning.
But Gers manager Paul Clement does not expect any surprises from his team,
which can overtake leaders Celtic with a three-goal victory.
“I know him of course, he has a long history in football but we have never met,” said the Belgian, who described his
Scottish Premiership Glen’s manager of the month award for January as a “collective” achievement. “He is someone
with a lot of experience but I don’t think it will change a lot. I don’t think Aberdeen
will play suddenly in a totally different style.
I don’t see many significant changes because I believe the style they were playing is exactly the type he wants to see,
but we are prepared for whatever does occur. The positive aspect is that. We have seen a wide variety of playing
styles over the past few months, and the team has become increasingly
adept at responding to them. This duel promises to be exciting.
The Rangers are among the top three or four clubs in the league in terms of roster quality, so I’m a little taken aback
by their standing in the standings. However, there are a few plausible explanations for their situation, but I’d rather
talk about the team itself. We have to play at our highest level
to win three points against this talented team.
Clement stated that defender Leon Balogun, who had a facial injury against Livingston, will consult a doctor on
Monday to see whether surgery is necessary. However, Clement insisted that the possibility of surpassing Celtic has
not even crossed his mind, even if it might wait until the Hoops’ match against Hibs on Wednesday. The former
manager of Monaco, Club Brugge, and Genk remarked,
“Totally not.” None. Not a soul in the building is discussing that.
“We are just focused on winning our own game, respecting the characteristics and vulnerabilities of our opponents,
taking the point, entertaining our fans with excellent football,
and maintaining this extremely strong mentality in the
locker room. As a manager and as a player, I have had the experience to understand what it takes to take home the
hardware. There’s just one way to do this, and that’s to play each game with your own attention.
Too far ahead of them causes them to lose focus, which leads to failure.
Ryan Jack, a midfielder, will not be available to play against his old team as the Rangers restrict his playing time
following his return from injury.
