Rangers vs Celtic: Clement Aims to Secure First Old Firm Win in High-Stakes Cup Final
Rangers manager Philippe Clement is gearing up for a high-stakes showdown as his team faces off against Celtic in the Scottish League Cup final at Hampden Park on Sunday. This match comes hot on the heels of a commendable performance against Tottenham Hotspur earlier in the week, where the Ibrox side demonstrated their mettle in a challenging fixture.
Clement takes pride in his team’s recent form, as Rangers are currently riding a nine-match unbeaten streak across all competitions. Despite this positive momentum, Clement’s track record in Old Firm derbies has been less than stellar since joining Rangers in October 2023. With one draw and four defeats in their previous encounters against Celtic, the pressure is on Clement to secure his first win in this fierce rivalry.
The stakes are high for Clement, who aims to break the streak of five winless Old Firm derbies and maintain the positive momentum within the squad. The manager emphasizes the importance of scoring efficiently, solid defense, and mature gameplay to counter Celtic’s quality players and ball possession.
In a recent interview, Clement expressed his dedication to winning trophies and games, highlighting the need for the team to be clinical and seize opportunities in crucial matches like the upcoming final. With both teams vying for victory, Sunday’s clash promises to be an intense battle for supremacy on the field.
