The title race is on and it seems that there is a clear difference between how the Celtic and Rangers managers are dealing with the pressure.
Brendan Rodgers took his press conference today and was in a bullish and jovial mood. After revealing that Daizen Maeda is returning to full fitness, the Celtic manager looks calm and relaxed.
In fact, Rodgers was practically horizontal and he even made a joke about the little altercation he had with the Celtic kit man at Hampden on Saturday.
Have a look at this:
Class from Rodgers and it looks like he is a manager who is completely comfortable despite the enromity of the last five games of the season.
Philippe Clement’s gibberish Celtic talk
And when you look at how Philippe Clement handled his press conference, the difference is stark:
I suppose we should be congratulating Clement on winning the ‘Four More Points Than Celtic Trophy’ but then this is unsurprising considering the way the Rangers manager has conducted himself over the last ten days.
In fact, so nonsensical was Clement’s ramblings, it wasn’t just the Celtic fans who were rinsing him. The Rangers supporters got in on the act as well:

As you can imagine, there were plenty more comments like this. The presser was so bad even a well-known Rangers troll account got in on the act.
Unless we’re winning league titles then stats like that mean nothing to the Rangers support

Clement is clever enough to know this, he just likes to give the media a positive persona
Never change Phillipe, never change…
