Steven Gerrard fired Rangers a major warning about living in the past – now it's on Clement to 'turn the dial up'

The answer would have been unequivocal if you polled Rangers supporters in the immediate aftermath of 55 and asked if a new era of Ibrox dominance was inbound.And, in the eyes of those who live and breath the Light Blues, how could it not have been?

Steven Gerrard had cracked it and, momentarily, left Celtic in a crumpled heap – the deposed champions' 10-in-a-row dream went up in smoke after finishing a record-breaking 25 points behind their biggest rivals who romped to an undefeated Premiership season.But, three years later, that dominant Rangers title win remains a singular act of resistance amid the psychological headlock Celtic have had their biggest rivals squeezed in when it comes to lifting the title.

Brendan Rodgers' side will all-but guarantee a 12th crown out of 13 if they beat Rangers on Saturday. But Philippe Clement – the third man at the helm since Gerrard's hasty exit to Aston Villa in October 2021 – is itching to triumph on enemy territory and rewrite a narrative which is hard to shake.

Gerrard – understanding exactly what Rangers needed to do after a first title in a decade – made it abundantly clear the mindset needed to multiply the success of a dominant Premiership campaign weeks after he delivered his only trophy in Glasgow.
