Rangers improves to battle past St Johnstone
Philippe Clement believes his Rangers side is continually improving after a hard-fought 1-0 away win over St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership.
Former Rangers midfielder Jason Holt turned into his own net just past the hour as that own goal handed Clement's side its first away win in the league since September.
It capped an improved week for Clement, whose side thrashed Nice in the UEFA Europa League last week to move a step closer to the knockout stages.
Speculation had also grown over the future of under-fire Clement, although the Belgian believes his team is on the right track.
"At the end, it's also crucial to not concede chances," Clement said. "We have for the second time in a row only one shot on target from the opponent.
"Last week it was a goal. Now not. And we need to continue in that way, keeping clean sheets and being defensively strong.
"I don't speak only about the defence, it's the whole team working hard for that. I see a lot of improvements with all the squad in what they are doing. It's now continuing all these things.
"What we talked about the last weeks and months. The mistakes we made to take it out of the game, you see it less and less, and then to grow like that.
"And then in the final third to sometimes have better positioning, to sometimes have better decision-making also. It's still a work in progress."
Victory moved Rangers 11 points behind leader Celtic and seven behind second-placed Aberdeen, which was held to a 1-1 draw away at Hearts in its match.
