The Gers fell to a dismal 3-2 loss in Dingwall on Sunday as their title aspirations suffered a huge setback.
On Sunday, he was left with no defence, as he admitted his team threw the points away at Ross County. Rangers have one of the best top-flight defensive records in Clement’s six months at Ibrox. But they conceded three times at home last weekend in the derby thriller with title rivals Celtic.
“In the end, we gave a lot of energy to our opponent and all credit to Ross County who defended with a big heart until the end. We need to see the opposition team don’t get so much energy by being better with and without the ball “ “That we threw away the points,” Clemently candidly said. “We didn’t start well in the first half on the ball and in the duels. We had chances but we were not lethal with the chances we had in the first half, a few of which were clear ones.
Their goals did come from a Jack Baldwin OG and a late James Tavernier penalty but it was not enough. He added: “We gave away easy goals, leading 0-1, not a good first half, not enough quality on the ball then you need to chase the game suddenly. Then we were much better. He answered: “I don’t know if you have ever played football but if you lose a game then you are very disappointed. It’s now about showing that mentality tomorrow as they step into the building with a lot of power and belief to take the three points on Wednesday.”
