Rangers' Philippe Clement explains how he celebrated big birthday - but why it won't change him

Ibrox boss will be looking for more happy returns when the action recommences against Hibs

Philippe Clement was all smiles as he entered the Rangers media suite. “It’s good to see everyone again, it seems like ages ago,” the Belgian quipped. A two-week break has allowed batteries to be recharged ahead of what will surely be a dramatic end to the 2023/24 campaign.

By the time Rangers kick off against Hibs on Saturday, they will have been inactive for 16 days owing to the surprise postponement of their last match away at Dundee due to a waterlogged pitch. Half of the Ibrox squad departed for international duty as others recovered from injuries and went through independent training programmes. Clement himself got away for a few days, back to Belgium for some celebrations. The Rangers manager turned 50 on March 22.
