Philippe Clement has highlighted the importance of the next two weeks with Rangers having the opportunity to overtake Celtic in the title race during a hectic festive schedule.

Clement has raised the bar since replacing Michael Beale two months ago and has urged his squad to remain laser-focused on their football rather than enjoying the festivities.

Speaking to Sky Sports ahead of their trip to face Motherwell on Sunday, he said: "It's very important [to be prepared mentally], of course.
