“I’ll be honest, they are pretty average”, Chris Sutton makes Rangers and Celtic SPFL title

Although Chris Sutton acknowledges that Rangers have been “pretty average” lately, he praises Philippe Clement for leading the team to victory at Ibrox.

The Belgian is doing a great job at Ibrox, according to the former Celtic striker’s most recent column for the Daily Record (10 February). The Belgian’s victory over Aberdeen at Ibrox during the midweek made it his 19th in 23 games since his appointment in October.

Following that victory, the Gers and Celtic leveled the score, but a day later, Brendan Rodgers’ team defeated Hibernian 2-1.

Sutton also revealed that, despite having an ordinary team at his disposal, Clement has done a “fine job” of making the most of the group thus far, with the Gers currently holding a commanding lead over Celtic in the Scottish Premiership title race.

Long-term and a bigger picture in terms of Europe season would be concerning enough, but fans should be more concerned about the here and now because Rangers are right behind Celtic,” the author wrote.

Philippe Clement is performing admirably. To be quite honest, they are pretty average, but the manager is managing to bring out the best in them and produce outcomes.

Celtic and Sutton sense the pressure from the Rangers

The former Celtic striker seems to be feeling the heat from Clement’s team following their decisive victory over Aberdeen, which has undoubtedly caused the Hoops to become increasingly anxious as the race for the Scottish Premiership title heats up.

While Sutton isn’t afraid of the Rangers team at the moment, he is undoubtedly intimidated by Clement’s influence and development as well as Ibrox, and their cross-town rivals at Parkhead may share this sentiment as well.

Recent performances from Celtic have been lackluster, so it is critical that the Gers maintain their pressure on Rodgers’ team because that is all they can do in a fiercely competitive race for the championship.

Nobody can dispute the amazing work being done under Clement’s direction, and the fact that he took over the team from Michael Beale makes it even more remarkable.

With the team molded after him, just think of what the Belgian could accomplish. Two additions that indicate the change being made are Oscar Cortes and Mohamed Diomande, who were brought in during the transfer window to Ibrox.

Rangers’ play and the intensity and aggression he demands in every game have both significantly improved under Clement.

The Light Blues have won 19 of their last 23 games, making them a real threat for the first time since Steven Gerrard’s time. Much of the credit for this must go to Clement, who has completely changed the culture at the team.
