I watched Rangers beat Aberdeen and felt something different but write Celtic off at your peril - Kenny Miller

Don't dare ask Philippe Clement about going top of the Premiership table on Wednesday night.

Because he’s not interested. If you listen to him, the Rangers manager simply sees it as another night's work. Three more points in the process of trying to become champions. And I’m all for that focus and single-minded attitude. No matter how boring or cliched it might sound. But take it from me - he and his players will be well aware of what’s at stake when Ross County come to Ibrox.

It’s Rangers’ game in hand and a three-goal victory will put the club at the league’s summit for the first time in two years. Clement isn’t daft. He will know the psychological importance of that. I don’t care what anybody says. When you’re a player at Rangers or Celtic, you’d much rather be top dogs than chasing in second. It’s a mental thing. And especially for Clement’s team given that three months ago when he arrived that looked highly unlikely.

In this column, I always maintained the title race wasn’t over when Michael Beale was sacked. But it was a long way back for Rangers. You couldn’t have envisaged Celtic dropping the points they have done. Yet here we are in mid-February and Clement has the chance to go above Brendan Rodgers. That’s an incredible turnaround in anyone’s language.

I’ve been involved in these types of situations before. And I can tell you first hand that after I’d played for Rangers on the Saturday, I was tuned into Celtic’s game on the Sunday. I was praying they’d drop points. If that was flipped and Celtic were on the Saturday, we’d have their game on our mobile phones during the bus journey to our hotel before playing the next day.

Don’t let anyone tell you differently. You can’t control what the other side does - but
