2 weeks agoNews PlusComments Off on Rangers boss Clement in fresh Celtic cash comparison as he says ‘our rivals spent £30m on stars who don’t always start’
FOR too long Philippe Clement’s been left to face the music on all manner of uncomfortable Rangers issues.
Effectively a heat shield for a board without proper executive leadership after the exits of James Bisgrove and John Bennett.

But no longer, and yesterday at the club’s Milngavie training base it wasn’t hard to detect Clement’s delight that there’s now a new CEO, Patrick Stewart, and chairman, Fraser Thornton, to front up.
Indeed, the Gers boss once again stated Stewart will be publicly addressing the club’s January transfer window plans within the next week.
Clement, of course, already knows the score.
And while he didn’t exactly say he was full of joy over what spending scope he’ll have, he did make it clear he’s not complaining.
Clement’s also still 100-per-cent motivated to make the best from what he’s got – because he knows he’ll never get a blank cheque-book at Ibrox.
But there will be no sizeable fortune to bring in reinforcements.
Quizzed directly by SunSport if he was satisfied with the budget available to him, the Belgian smiled wryly and said: “That is a difficult question.
“So, every manager wants more.
“But I’m realistic, so what is possible for the club I will work really hard to get the best out of that.
“That’s for a lot of managers in the world like that.
“There aren’t many clubs where you can get a blank cheque-book to do whatever you want. It doesn’t happen so much.
“I know what the situation of the club is, I know what the plan is,I know it is a long term plan.
“I engage myself fully into that, so I am not going to complain about it.
“Like I said, we all want to do our role in the club…just wait a few days and you will get answers.”
Clement acknowledged he’d had a difficult conversation with Stewart over what’s available at a club desperately trying to be financially stronger.
He said: “Of course, because I want to win every game.
“I want to have the best team.
“I want to have the best squad.
“It is also a challenge as a manager not only to buy the best squad but also to MAKE the best squad.
“It’s even a better challenge than to buy one, although it is also a challenge to spend your money really well.
“So, I went into the challenge to make the best squad with all these people. It is not only me, it is a lot of people in this club, to make the best squad.
“And that’s what we’re going for every day.
“In moments, in several moments, they have shown over the last couple of months – but not consistently like is needed here.
“We’re pushing that button a lot, a lot every day.
“Of course it is important that the fans know what the plans of the club are.
“So, Patrick is totally involved in that way also towards the fans and everybody outside of the club also.
“He will address what the plan is for the club for January.
“There is no club in the world who is happy when there are so many centre-backs out.
“But it is about finding solutions and that is what we have been doing the last couple of weeks, like for example putting Ridvan at right full-back and doing a really good job there.
“We need to be creative in that way to have a good level with the defence and not concede the goals we did against Hibs from the set-pieces.
“That annoyed me a lot, that we lost not with open play chances but set-pieces – so that is what we addressed and I need to make choices around this game because it is also one of the strengths of Dundee.”
Whenever asked about a lack of squad depth, Clement can’t resist making comparisons with far richer Celtic.
He said: “It’s something that is necessary in seasons like now, with that amount of games.
“We had talks about it.
“I don’t read everything, but people tell me things sometimes.
“There’s been a lot of fuss about rotation. I explained it is a normal thing.
“It’s not only a normal thing here, look at the weekend…our rivals in this city, how many players did they change from the weekend before?
“And they spent £30 million in the summer on players who are not all the time in the starting eleven.
“Or by far not.
“So, yes, it is an important part.
“We don’t have the same cheque-book in that way, so we have to work hard to make it better by getting talents in or to get players out of our academy, even better.”

On the latter front, Clement revealed kid midfielder Bailey Rice, 18, will be promoted to the first team dressing room following tonight’s game.
And his thoughts on Tony Docherty’s Dundee?
Clement added: “I have a lot of respect for Tony. His team is always very competitive, they make it really difficult for opponents.
“They are really good in transition, they have a lot of good players in transition.
“Three front players really good in that way.
“Lyle Cameron also, a very good midfielder, creative midfielder, with decisive action in the last pass and a good solid base behind him also.
“We need to take lessons out of the Hibs game.
“Not in structure, but in being competitive in duels, to win those duels more.”

The OAP was fatally injured and died later at EdinburghRoyal Infirmary, the High Court in the city heard.
Cops traced lifelong criminal Starrs three days after the crash to a pal’s flat in Whitburn, West Lothian.
He was hiding under a pile of clothes in a bedroom.
The coward today pled guilty to causing death by dangerousdriving while disqualified in nearby Blackburn, and getting behind the wheel of a car two days later.
The court was told widowed dad-of-two William had been heading to meet pals at the town’s bowling club when he was struck last July 12.

“He was loved and respected by pupils and teachers alike.
“Mr Brown loved bowling but had to give up playing due to his health.
“However, he loved to meet his friends at the club.”
The court heard Starrs’ criminal record stretched back to his teens.
He was previously caged for firearms and drug supply charges.
Appearing via video link from prison, Judge Lady Ross told him: “This is a deeply concerning case which has caused grief and harm to Mr Brown’s family.”
She deferred sentence until next month for reports.

PROUD Jess Bell and Stefan Wake have had a devil of a time after naming their baby son Lucifer.
They have had to explain to family, pals and online trolls that they just took the moniker from the Netflix fantasy show.

The tot was born on New Year’s Day in a hospital delivery room No 6 before being taken with Jess to bed 6 in room 6.
But Stefan explained: “We had already chosen the name, so it was just a strange coincidence.”
Stefan, 27, from Redcar, North Yorks, said he and Jess “absolutely loved” the show, in which Lucifer, played by Tom Ellis, gets bored with hell, launches a nightclub and ends up helping police solve murders.
He said: “We want to have him christened and the vicar said she would have no problem.”
Jess added: “The name actually means ‘light bringer’ which is exactly what he has done for our lives.”
She went on: “People have told us, ‘What will it be like when he’s at school?’ And we received a bit of abuse online.
“Someone even criticised his middle name, which is Gary after my uncle who died as a child.”
The couple, who met on Halloween three years ago, have a daughter called Juliet.

THE Traitors aired its most savage twist ever as returning contestant Jack was AXED just moments after making a shock comeback to the show.
Three show stars made a dramatic comeback to the programme after initially being booted off within the opening moments of the series.
As part of a shocking twist, Fozia, Jack and Alexander were all seemingly booted from the game after sacrificing themselves.
However, it was revealed that the three of them had all been kept in hiding as they arrived back to the game a week later after boarding the ‘rail replacement service’.
As part of the day’s mission, the three axed stars were suspended in the sky and locked in cages in a scene that one star admitted resembled the “Salem witch trials”.
Host Claudia then confessed that the three stars were all now eligible to re-enter the game but that one star would not make it and would sensationally be axed AGAIN.
It was up to the current players to decide which of the stars to help out as they were required to collect gold coins in order to lower their cages from the sky and back down onto the ground.
The current players had to deposit gold coins into the stars they wished to save and Fozia landed on the ground first.
Alexander followed leaving Jack dangling in the air at the end of the mission.
It meant he had been booted from the game once again despite only just having made a comeback.
Responding to the brutally savage twist, Jack remarked: “I’m gutted but I’m happy for them both.
“It was a wake-up call as to how brutal The Traitors can be.”
Elsewhere, the episode kicked off with Maia being murdered by Traitors Minah and Linda after her sister Armani was brutally exposed as a Traitor in the previous episode.
With that revelation leaving Maia in shock, it exposed that she was a Faithful to the rest of the group.
Clever Minah and Linda then worked out this meant the 25-year-old would never be banished at the round table and as such they needed to murder her in order to get her out of the game.
The group were left stunned when Maia failed to walk into the breakfast room the following morning as they reeled in the news that the two sisters had been given the boot on the same day.
The episode saw a THIRD shocking exit as 33-year-old doctor Kasim was brutally ousted from the programme by his fellow players.
Amid suspicions, Kas was banished by his co-stars.
Speaking after he was banished, he said to his co-stars: “It’s been fantastic and you are all fantastic people.”
Ahead of his exit, Kas was left downcast as his co-stars began to want to not speak to him leaving him feeling “isolated” after they “didn’t want to speak to [him]” about anything.
In a heartbreaking admission, Kas admitted being left out had “happened before” as was left saddened at his fellow Faithful’s refusing to believe that he was one of them.
Although they still opted to eliminate him from the game, some of his co-stars apologised for making him feel ostracized over the past few days.
2 weeks agoNews PlusComments Off on Scrapping the BBC’s discredited ‘Verify’ would save licence-payers a fortune with no downside
Try freedom
FACEBOOK’S scrapping of its left-wing “fact-checkers” is a long overdue victory for free speech. When can we expect the BBC’s discredited “Verify” outfit to go too?
For years the social media giant skewed its content for the Left, relegating or deleting conservative posts and even colluding with the US Democrats.
Often, harmless material was censored and posters needlessly banned for wrongspeak.
But with Trump’s re-election, Mark Zuckerberg has changed his tune. Now Facebook will let users post “community notes”-style context, as on Elon Musk’s Twitter.
Musk’s instinct, to promote free speech and counter misleading material not with “checkers” prone to bias but with MORE free speech, is the right one.
No resultant prosecutions. No justice for thousands of girls whose young lives were wrecked. No nationwide probe to grasp for the first time the scale of an atrocity which may be ongoing.
Keir Starmer whipped his party to defend the indefensible.
The previous review in which he places such faith avoided the central issue: Of mostly Pakistani-origin men raping mostly white girls as a left-liberal establishment ignored it through paranoia about “Islamophobia”.
Ordinarily Labour loves public inquiries, albeit only if they will damage Tories. Even now, they are committed to one into violence between police and miners under Maggie Thatcher in 1984.
But not this one.
Which only adds insult to the vulnerable children hideously and unforgivably failed by the State’s multicultural obsessions.
Stop the hate
THE anti-Semitic, pro-Hamas, Islamist hate marchers insist they are not anti-Semitic, pro-Hamas, Islamist hate marchers.
2 weeks agoNews PlusComments Off on I’m an extreme cheapskate mum – I love when it snows as it’s free water for my family to wash in, I revamped a for £49
A MUM has shared her extreme money-saving tips, but it’s her water hack that’s really turned heads.
Becky Giles, who’s all about being frugal, revealed that she loves it when it snows because it gives her free water for her family to wash in.
She also bragged about how her money-saving methods helped her renovate her bathroom for just £49.
Since becoming a stay-at-home mum, Becky has found creative ways to save money as she works to renovate her family’s 100 year old house.
She now prides herself in being “the most frugal mum in America.”
Talking in a TLC documentary, she revealed that she fills up buckets “with snow to melt and use for water” as “water from the sink actually costs money.”
She adds: “The heat we use to warm the house will also be used to heat the buckets so that we can have warm water.”
Becky can take “anything in the entire world and figure out a way to get it for 80 to 90% off or even free.”
Becky, who shares two children George and Colton with her husband Jay, used to split the bill with her husband in a “very specific way” when they first started dating.
When the pair first had their son Goerge, Becky managed to save $30,000 (£24,500) to $32,000 (£25,800), which allowed her to become a full-time mum.
She says: “I’ve maintained that mindset for seven years now.”
Becky and her family have been living in their family home for two and half years but they have “no furniture” because she “only buys things if they’re cheap.”
She painted her bathroom herself with her friend, and painted the floors herself as well.
In total her bathroom cost her £49.
Showing off her bathroom, she says: “If I had paid someone to do all this, it would easily have cost $2,000 (£1,600).”
Becky explained that her dishwasher in her kitchen has been broken for “a little over a year” and some of her “cupboards don’t shut all the way.”

She says: “I got so mad at one that I super glued it shut.”
However, many people don’t agree with her style of living and took to YouTube to share their thoughts and they had questions to ask.
One wrote: “As a former professional organiser I taught people how to live frugally as well as getting rid of a lot of stuff not needed.
“This woman is way over the line. It’s one thing to save money but when it comes to neglect, it’s no longer safe. Is she boiling that water from the snow?
She revealed how she managed to do up her entire bathroom for cheap[/caption]
“How much does it cost to heat that huge house? Why not live in a much smaller house or tiny? Not impressed!”
A second added: “I love that she will use snow which really isn’t safe for consumption and says that water is too expensive even though her clothes look like they are expensive.”
Whilst a third said: “There’s a difference in being cheap and fixing stuff that needs fixed. Fix your cabinets and dishwasher. No reason for some of this.”
