Philippe Clement admits Rangers lacked sex appeal in scrappy Saints win but reveals where his team are on the up

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Philippe Clement insists his Rangers side lacked sex appeal after grinding out a win over St Johnstone thanks to an own goal from Ibrox old boy Jason Holt.

The Belgian eased the pressure slightly on his position with the three points to reduce the gap at the top to 11 points to leaders and rivals Celtic and while they dominated more than the 1-0 scoreline suggested, Clement admitted there is plenty of room for improvement.

But Rangers bounced back from last week’s dismal draw at home to Dundee United and followed up their stunning 4-1 midweek Europa League win over Nice and under-fire Clement told Sky Sports: “It was a well deserved victory, we dominated the game and only gave one shot on target away but we need to score more goals to be more sexy and entertaining like we want to be for our fans - but also to kill the opponent. “That’s still a working point but I see a lot of positive things in the squad with players growing and becoming better and doing the right things more and more.

It’s important after a European trip, big victory, to react directly domestically and get the deserved points. “It’s not easy because teams all over the world don’t score three or four goals.
