Philippe Clement reveals Rangers squad meeting after Dons false start but Aris video nasty highlights progress

“We have to be smart in our positioning, running and how we use the ball with our intensity and power. I want to create winners here, those who want to achieve in every competition.

Gers suffered a shock defeat to Thursday’s opponents in Cyprus prior to Clement’s arrival with Steven Davis at the helm that night.
