Rangers are clearly a team that is united under Philippe Clement with the manager leading a charge that many thought was impossible.
Sitting on top of the Scottish Premiership in February means little other than a sign that the Gers boss knows what he is doing, even with several key players absent.
Ibrox on Saturday was as good as we have seen Rangers play in the league for some time with Philippe Clement taking to social media after the game to pick out something special.
Rangers fans impress Philippe Clement
Three points was all that mattered before kick-off, however, Clement seems to be looking beyond that.
For him, it is all about the performance.
He knows that, if the players in his squad bring the intensity, pace and energy that he demands, then the rest will follow.
Posting on X, Philippe Clement was happy with what he saw and what he heard:
“The energy and the will to win, that’s what it’s all about. What a synergy with the fans.”
One of the key reasons for the current form has been Cyriel Dessers.
With 13 goal contributions in his last 15 games (10 goals, three assists), the 29-year old is posting the sort of numbers that a Rangers number nine should be.
Yes, there is still the odd missed chance, but as Clement says, even Erling Haaland doesn’t score every opportunity that he gets.
The likeable Nigeria international was happy with his afternoon’s work too despite narrowly missing out on the match-ball:
“Perfect Saturday afternoon.”
It sums it up nicely.
An early goal, an obvious intent from everyone wearing Light Blue and some well-worked goals to see off what are normally tricky opponents.
Dessers is the epitome of the spirit that Philippe Clement has created in this Rangers squad.
He never stops working, never stops pressing defenders and running into channels and he is now getting his reward.
What a transformation it would be if he is the one leading us to silverware given his start to life at the club.
Now that’s what it’s all about.
