The Ibrox boss and Gordon Strachan were close at Coventry where the former Celtic boss started out on his managerial career in 1997.
Philippe Clement has revealed he’s so engaged with Old Firm rivalry rules that he accepts resuming a friendship with Gordon Strachan is off limits.
But Clement has agreed that it would be a schoolboy error to meet up with Strachan in Glasgow, given his former colleague’s Parkhead past and the fact Strachan’s son Gavin is on the Hoops’ backroom staff. Clement laments the lack of contact with Strachan but explained his stance when quizzed on his relationship with rival Old Firm boss Brendan Rodgers ahead of Sunday’s derby at Ibrox.
“I even saw an interview with Gordon Strachan, who was my gaffer and who I had a really good relationship with. It’s not allowed, here in Glasgow, to have dinner together because his son is working on the coaching staff at Celtic. That’s a pity. I think you need to have this rivalry but, outside, I thought it was still a possibility for me. But apparently in this city, not. And so, I adapt in that way. So I respect the city and I respect our fans. So we will keep it in the way it was.
