Philippe Clement reveals missing Rangers ingredient but buoyant boss reels off 10 reasons to believe

Philippe Clement has heaped praise on his Rangers players and the support as he named the ONE thing they lacked at Tannadice.

The Light Blues got back to winning ways in the return from the international break to put a difficult fortnight behind them after a thumping by Celtic in the first derby of the season. Tom Lawrence was the hero as he netted with just seven minutes on the clock to put the Light Blues above Dundee United in the league standings and cut the gap on the Hoops and Aberdeen at the top - after they both made it five wins from five 24 hours before.

The Belgian boss hailed the victory as a 'big result' following the international break but he did flag the ONE part of Rangers' game that was missing at Tannadice. He also heaped praise on the large travelling support for making their trip to the City of Discovery feel like a home game as he one again touched on the synergy between the players and fans. He told BBC Sportsound: "It's a big result. It is a hard place to come and Dundee United showed that the last couple of weeks. Also, after an international when lots of players leave the club and you don't have many training moments it is always dangerous to come to a place like this and the players did a really good job and it is a deserved victory.

"I think after 20 minutes we had 80 per cent ball possession and several chances. It is massive to start the game really well. Once we did, the only thing I think we missed today was scoring the second goal to kill off the game or the third after.

"Then you are more comfortable because against these teams it always remains dangerous with one long throw-in or one corner or set piece. In another way we didn't give away chances so that is also a really good thing from the team. We defended well and at the set pieces we were on top of things and won the duels. It is massive in those games to keep a clean sheet.

"Keeping clean sheets is so massive and important. But the most satisfying thing is we have so many new players. Some are a few weeks here, some a few days. Like [Nedim] Bajrami doesn't even know all the names of his colleagues at the moment. It needs time to gel the team together to let them understand what they need to do together, which moments to create these connections and timings in the runs plus the work with and without the ball.

"The most positive point was it felt like a home game. Our fans were amazing again today and you felt the synergy between the fans and team. We are looking forward to going to Ibrox again to feel this x10 more."
