Foul mouthed Phil- Ibrox boss drops S-bomb during media conference

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.

8 minutes 23 seconds

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.
