Philippe Clement reacts after Rangers lose to Celtic in first Old Firm clash of the season

that we start the game really well that we at Best of the ball in the first 10 minutes get two really good opportunities with SEL coming free in front of goal and with RAB free header there so you need to be clinical in those games and to come in front it it changes the momentum um and it would have helped the team a lot um to to go in frer and we did the good things with the B to create that but uh we need to be more clinical in those moments was the same in the second half um because at the end Celtic has today 14 shots we have 13 they had four On Target we had four On Target but you lose with three Z so that's really a clear result and and difference in uh inefficiency and of course uh you give them a lot of confidence if they come one Z in front and two Z in front it's always easier to to play um but ball possession was also equal today 47 53 between the two teams so I was not happy with the reaction after the one Zer was not good enough um there we went down in the first half second half was better reaction but we yeah you have to become more open as a team because you need to chase two goals and to take more risks so that creates also chances for them but on the other side we had also really really 100% chances but they need to be put against the aside from not being clinical enough what else do you feel you needed to see more from from your players today yeah there are of course other details and you can speak about some duels and some position and but the momentum shifts with a one Zer and for sure with a two z um and Celtic and are in the sofa they have only to keep the ball and to wait for the the moments you step out to use this space so that creates a lot I think a lot of people watching that today thought there is a big a big gap between team you know ex no we will see in January so of course it's a team and we spoke about that Celtic is now with this team that started playing already more than one year some guys are playing two three years together of course there are more uh automatism between players and to do the right things at the right moment and the speed of handling because they did it so many times together we are just at a start with a with a new Squad with a new team um in that way there were really positive things in the beginning of the game but you need to kill off the game then and to score and then it can be another Dynamic so of course yeah when it's 3-0 you need to you need to shut up that moment and to accept that that you lost and it was not good enough so we're going to work really hard the next couple of months to be much better in general softness or softness they opening two Cate goals concerning for you w yes it's too easy too easy there and defense of false m m but I think brenon will say the same if we with have scored in the in these first moments in the beginning of the game so that's always the talk and the Insight after after an action and these are the decisive action even the second goal it's it's not really a big chance it's a shot from 30 35 yards out of the box so for sure with the first goal we could have done much much better um but we had also those moments and you need to kill them off and if you don't do that then uh then you can get these questions about that where does the efficiency come from in front of because especially the first two the early on ones they looked lacking in confidence when the ball came to them no it's uh scoring goals it's quality one week ago we scored six today not so it's about working on that doing that a lot of times and getting confidence out of that I think the confidence before the game was there if you look back the first 10 minutes the way we played we were good on the ball we were Brave on the ball it was not kick and rush and hoping for something there was good good football there creating good chances even in the first minute this header of of Robin if he just touches the ball in front of go we have three players alone on the second post but you need to finish that off and otherwise you don't have anything to tell after the three Z despite the result do you think the way your team started the game shows it was approach yeah there's it shows also the potential that there is in the squad there's still 34 games to go we know at this moment we we need to approve a lot of things and we need to gel also people together and and get this uh this automatism between players and the faster the game goes the higher the level is the faster you have to make decisions so we need to create the next weeks the next months also disconnection between players it's a normal thing you saw also the moment that Celtic bring on a lot of players that they paid a lot of money for it was not the same way of playing although they have to do the same things from their manager but they need to come also in into this way of playing defensively offensively what to do together it's a normal thing in football so we know we have a lot of work to do we knew already two weeks ago we knew four weeks ago we knew two months ago and we're going to do that you think the fans have to be patient there's no other choice of course and it's it's a really big blow to lose 30-0 against Celtic for all of us for the fans it's not something that you want I think also we we didn't reward ourselves in that way it could have been a 3-2 or a 3-1 or a 33 even if you have a a good efficient day today so we didn't reward ourselves so we need to work on that and to work on uh on a lot of other things also but that's normal with uh with so many new players and uh and so many young players also look at the average age of the starting 11 of Celtic today and our team today so the best is by far yet to come with this squad so I've seen a lot of good things in the trainings in the games the last games today also in the beginning in the reaction in the second half but we need to reward ourselves that's a very very important part there's been players in the team that have suffered these kind of results a few times now in terms of picking them up making sure that their confidence levels remain how difficult a job is that for you I think they they did it until the end because the senior players were at the end also pushing still to get the result even with the three- Z so I don't have any doubt about their mentality I don't know yet but he felt something in Sam so uh we will see this week week how talking with
