Clement dumps the stats as he admits Rangers aren’t good enough | OneFootball

Rangers manager Philippe Clement has at least learned one thing from the horrific loss to Celtic at Parkhead – to never again use stats as a justification for anything.

The manager, yet again under pressure after another bad result at home to Lyon, was directly asked about the stats, which on paper did make Rangers look a lot better than the scoreline, and his answer demonstrated one thing he’s finally picked up:

This is a much, MUCH more Rangers thing to say, as opposed to the nonsense pre-kick off where he claimed he’d be very happy with a draw.

Unfortunately he slightly undermined it afterwards by praising the side for indeed achieving such progressive play:

He’s not completely wrong this time – Rangers did have chances, but it’s not chances which win games, it’s goals.

And he does admit that:

What he really means is go back to the level we were at before he broke us?

Rangers are a lot worse now than we were before, and Clement is a lot to do with that.
