Clement pleased with ´dominant´ Rangers victory against Ross County

Philippe Clement says Rangers are beginning to click after they comfortably beat Ross County 3-0 on Sunday to move within two points of second-placed Aberdeen.

Hamza Igamane thundered Rangers into a sixth-minute lead with the help of a deflection, before Jack Hamilton had his pocket picked by Danilo to put them two goals in front.

Clement’s side continued to dominate after the break but were kept on their toes by Akil Wright, who went close on two occasions with headers from close range.

However, Rangers sealed the victory four minutes from time through captain James Tavernier, who rifled Cyriel Dessers cutback into the far left corner.

And the visitors were deserving of their win, registering an expected goals (xG) of 1.53 from their 19 shots, compared to Ross County’s measly 0.75 from their 10 attempts.

Rangers have now won their last four matches in all competitions, scoring 14 goals while conceding just twice, to leave Clement impressed with his side’s progression.

“It’s what I wanted to see but, of course, I’m very pleased because this is a really hard place to show that,” Clement said.

“I’m very pleased about our domination, about how we controlled the game, but with the intention to score more goals, how we kept our organisation, concentration and also not to become sloppy and to give things away and to keep a clean sheet and three goals at Ross County. It’s a really huge performance.”

“Our squad is starting to recognise what to do when. It’s hard work. It’s about getting experience together, getting connections between players together, communication on the pitch, the right timings.”

Clement’s side welcome Tottenham to Ibrox in the Europa League on Thursday, hoping to build on their 4-0 thrashing of Nice in their last game in the competition.
