Raging Rangers boss Philippe Clement has accused SPFL chiefs of selling Scotland football’s product short after forcing his Euro travellers out of their bed for the noon kick-off.
The Ibrox side continued their post-Parkhead resurgence as they made it four wins on the bounce since their Old Firm defeat with a narrow 1-0 win against Hibs.
But it was a far from convincing display as Gers were made to cling on for victory. Jack Butland proved to be the Light Blues’ penalty saviour when he denied Leith frontman Mykola Kuharevych’s spot-kick after Tom Lawrence had broken the deadlock with a sensational winner.
Clement, though, pins his side’s sluggish showing down to the fact they were forced into action just 57 hours after arriving back in Glasgow following Thursday’s impressive Europa League triumph over Malmo.
