International break is probably just in time for Rangers | OneFootball

No more Rangers until the 20th of the month thanks to (yet another) international break, and in all honesty it probably comes at a good time for the Famous.

Having scratched along with questionable domestic form and a humbling in Europe, Philippe Clement can stop for the two weeks on a bit of a better footing thanks to a slightly more decent win over St Johnstone.

Rangers indeed have won 3 in a row since the loss at Parkhead, which might not be incredible form, but it’s a sign of some kind of consistency.

Ibrox Noise aren’t suddenly Philippe Clement’s biggest fans by any means, our manager is questionable at the best of times these days, but if we overlook Lyon and Celtic then, remarkably, Rangers haven’t actually conceded a single goal since losing to Kyiv.

Of course, we’re arguably adding conditions here, to spin it better than the picture might seem, and while the team probably isn’t scoring enough overall, it’s also not conceding too many either.

It’s just a pity on the occasions that matter, the side crumbles, and that’s, among other things, cost us 5 points as we trail Aberdeen and Celtic.

So here we are, two weeks of no Rangers, a manager who now has 14 days to put some things together in training with the players who weren’t called up, even if we can’t really say there’s been a lot of success domestically with such breaks under this manager up till now.

For us though, this one comes at a good time – able to bow out on a little high, a decent win, and a cracking pair of goals for Vaclav Cerny; by no manner of means is ‘everything sorted now’ – far from it.

But something does have to give at Parkhead in two weeks and Rangers will have a chance to close the gap on one or both of the sides ahead of us in the table.

Against bottom-feeding Kilmarnock, there’s definitely an opening.

Pity it’s at Rugby Park where our team always struggles and the manager seems to ruin Oscar Cortes while he’s at it.

But we’ll see what materialises in two weeks as Rangers face Derek McInnes once more. Without Ianis Hagi for sure…
