Todd Cantwell thinks Rangers' memorable run to last year's Europa League final can can act as inspiration for the current players.
"It’s really important that everything is built around the team and what happens out there on Thursday." Clement played with Sparta manager Brian Priske at Club Brugge between 2006 and 2008, and although they remain good friends, Clement says they will "love each other a little less" during the game. "We are both also people who love each other before and after the game; during the game it will be a little bit less."Rangers manager Philippe Clement has been talking to the media before his side's Europa league clash with Sparta Prague in the Czech capital on Thursday.Rangers have no natural left-back for the game with Borna Barisic injured and Ridvan Yilmaz left out of the European squad by previous manager Michael Beale.
With the greatest of respect to our domestic game, and to one of its biggest sides, the four-goal demolition of Hibs at Ibrox is no real barometer of the Belgian’s ability to affect change and deliver it quickly. A good showing at the home of the Czech champions and league leaders would be. Let’s also not forget that the group stage of the Europa League is a fair step up from the Premiership. In certain media circles there was was a curious lack of respect afforded to Aris Limassol last time around, who had no problems seeing Rangers off in Cyprus on matchday two. Yes, Rangers were poor but Aris, like Sparta and unlike Rangers, are domestic champions. They topped the Cypriot league last season ahead of Champions League veterans Apoel Nicosia.
"It's important to take into consideration, that this is a new coach, they only played one game together at the weekend, winning 4-0," the former Portsmouth defender said. "It's been 15 years since I quit Bruges, but over the years we've kept in touch here and there, the year I spent with Antwerp we talked a few times, not just during the games but in general.
It was like watching a completely different group of players; that's the biggest compliment I could pay the manager and his staff after Saturday's 4-0 trouncing of Hibs and let's be honest here, 4-0 didn't flatter Rangers at all. Clement looks like he could be onto something, but one 90 minute performance doesn't make a season. There is plenty of work to do and wins to be had. Early impressions are good, but let's see where we are come the winter break and then fully assess Clement's impact or otherwise on the side.
"That was one of the biggest criticisms of Michael Beale's side, was that it was wee bit flat and ponderous at times.Connor Goldson, John Souttar, Nicolas Raskin and Abdallah Sima have all been named in Sportscene presenter Jonathan Sutherland's Team of the Week after Rangers' 4-0 win over Hibs. Jakub Pesek continued his return from nearly a year out through injury as the Czech Republic winger added the second before half time.
