The pressure of his side’s faltering title challenge appears to be getting through to Philippe Clement.
At the final whistle on Sunday after losing to Ross County the Ibrox raced solo down the tunnel, refusing to shake hands with County boss Don Cowie until he was dragged out 30 minutes later by the Ibrox media team.
That result ensures that Celtic will go into the post-split fixtures in top place in the Premiership table, before today’s media conference it was confirmed that tomorrow’s match will be going ahead at Dens Park at the third attempt.
Quizzed about his side winning just two of their last five domestic matches Clement claimed that the defeat from Motherwell was a freak, that his side should have won 6-1.
Asked if the season now came down to winning their final six matches the former Monaco boss was less than diplomatic with his answer.

The moment that you start to think of six or eight (games) or four weeks to go, or five weeks to go and then it is holiday then you become in the sh*t. That’s the worse thing you can do, sorry to you that I use that word. I’m too familiar with you guys now.
No, that is the baddest thing that you can do, is to look, it is the same with three months ago, just game by game going full.
And with that there was some nervous laughter among the broadcast reporters and fan media outlets at today’s conference.
The announcement of today’s post split fixtures means that Clement’s side will have to play St Mirren away from home for the third time this season.
Uncle Phillipe should consider that he is on holiday today because if results don’t go his way in the next nine days and a calendar month, then he will definitely feel that he needs a holiday!
Aye it will be proper shit coming down the cludgie if they don’t win ihis league.
Phil the Stink!
He’s upping the nonsense he’s talking as each presser goes by and the media are just sitting nodding
Exactly the same as they done with Beale
F**ks sake – Has he been drinking outta that cup they drink booze outta in Liebrox with incoherent wreck Kenny Miller with that incoherent mumble jumble rethoric !
Must be all that blue lavvy water they drink over there that sends them totally batshit loopy.
Clemong looks more and more like The Scream every day.
I knew a guy who used to roll a glass stink bomb into a crowded bookies and dissapear around the corner!
A friend of mine!
