Our man has been surprised at how quickly opinion changed on the Belgian after a flying start in the Ibrox hot seat
Rangers manager Philippe Clement did remarkably well against Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League qualifier for a man who doesn’t have a clue about what he’s doing, and who is working on a contract that was unjustifiably extended.
Meanwhile, Celtic will get away with not signing any new outfield players until something negative happens to Brendan Rodgers’ side on the park. The Celtic support thought, following Rangers’ draw with Hearts last weekend, their rivals would get a going over against Dynamo Kyiv in their Champions League qualifier and be plunged into premature chaos sufficient to afflict their challenge for the title. Now the mood is different.
Today’s opponents Hibs would have given stability a bad name in recent weeks because of internal strife and external noise following a cup defeat from Kelty Hearts and a hammering in the league from St Mirren last week. It looks the kind of fixture Celtic should negotiate with ease. Or is that the problem?
