According to Kheredine Idessane, Philippe Clement has 12 games left in the next 60 days that have the potential to “re-define” his Rangers team’s season.
The latest rerun of the “grudge match” between the Gers and Aberdeen on Sunday, November 26, comes at a “intriguing time,” according to a journalist who wrote on the BBC Sport website on Wednesday, November 22. The previous encounter saw the end of Michael Beale’s tenure at the club.
He thinks this matchup is “just as important” even though the teams are scheduled to face off in the Viaplay Cup final on December 17. The new Light Blues manager is aware that he “can’t afford to slip up” in his quest to challenge Celtic for the SPFL championship this year.
Idessane stated, “This grudge match is being rerun at an intriguing time.” “Philippe Clement’s life has become more predictable. He will not be unaware, though, that he is about to face the opposition that essentially did the same for his predecessor.
“The Rangers’ season may be redefined by the twelve games he has left to play in the next sixty days. The Christmas calendar already has the Viaplay Cup final on December 17 against the opponents on Sunday circled.
One could contend that the trip to Pittodrie this coming weekend is equally significant. The difference at the top of the table is still eight points, so Clement knows he cannot afford to make a mistake when his league campaign returns to Aberdeen if he hopes to maintain any sort of pressure on his rival across the city.
vigour
With six wins in Clement’s opening seven games, it was evident that Rangers’ momentum was gathering strength prior to the international break. When he leads his team to Pittodrie, the Belgian will be driven to continue that run, even though the two-week layoff probably didn’t come at the best time. Following their 6-0 loss to Celtic on November 12, Aberdeen will undoubtedly be hurt, and the home crowd will be expecting a reaction from their team.
That will probably guarantee that the two teams will engage in a fierce battle, with the Germans knowing that a loss will not do.
Additionally, it’s a great chance to boost confidence before the Light Blues compete in the Viaplay Cup final next month, where they hope to win the trophy for the first time since 2011.
