Clement: We're Making Important Steps

PHILIPPE CLEMENT believes his Rangers side are making important steps in their journey as they prepare for a quick return to Scottish Premiership action.

The Ibrox side recorded a priceless victory at Tynecastle in midweek as the games continue to come thick and fast across three competitions over the festive period.

Speaking to the media ahead of tomorrow's visit of Dundee to Ibrox, Clement commented: "On the pitch, what I have seen in moments in games, we could have gotten more good results than we've had. 

"We're creating a lot of chances every game, scoring good goals, keeping several clean sheets, so the team is taking good steps. 

"There have been players coming in and out, but everyone understands the story and what to do in their position. 

"In that way, the team are on a really good way to improve and become better.

"The day after the game is recovery for the guys who played, while they also use the cryochamber, treatment, and get massages. 

"They also do cycling and exercise, as well as certain exercises to get stronger in muscles they haven't used as much during the game. 

"It's tactical training the day after, before they go home and rest so they're ready for the next game."

It's an exciting week for the Rangers supporters as they gear up for Europa League and Viaplay Cup final action following the conclusion of tomorrow's league clash.

Clement believes his side have the capacity to make it a memorable week, although he insists his full focus is on the challenge of Dundee tomorrow afternoon.

He added: "It's a decisive game in the League Cup. The other competition will define where we go further, and that's already an important thing to know we're playing in Europe next year. 

"And of course we want to play in the Europa League, but I know a really good manager who put a tattoo on his arm when he won the Conference League so don't throw away that competition. 

"We're going to go to Betis to try and finish first in the group. 

"It's a marathon until the end of the season in the other competitions, and we also have the Scottish Cup in January. There are three competitions after this week which we'll still complete."
