Philippe Clement, the manager of Rangers, said that his team was better than Celtic after seeing the double winners win another match this season.
The Bhoys beat Celtic 1-0 in the Scottish Cup final at Hampden on Saturday. Adam Idah scored the game-winning goal in the 90th minute after the much-talked-about goalie Jack Butland deflected a shot into his path.
After the game, Brendan Rodgers, the boss of Celtic, praised his players for having the mental toughness to win another tough game.
It really was a tight and nerve-wracking 90 minutes. Neither team really had long stretches of good play, especially in the offensive third.
But Clement seems to think that his team got a raw deal that day, as he says Rangers were better and goes on a rant about a goal that should have been allowed.
Philippe Clement gives his opinion on the Celtic vs. Rangers game.
“The general thought is that you are disappointing you lose,” the Ibrox manager told Clyde 1. Everyone, even Celtic fans, said we were the better team today. That’s how it feels: mixed. You’re let down because you try so hard to win. I’m also happy with how the team has done today.
“With two shots on goal today and a goal, we need to score right now.” It’s also possible that you’ll score goals that are being taken away in this way. I don’t like that moment as much as Scales’ push on Dujon Sterling in the first half. Things are getting pushed a lot more than they were with Joe Hart.
“I can also see that all of Celtic’s defenders are grabbing my players and putting their arms around their waists and necks. That was a very bad call to call that goal off.”
All season, Clement has refused to give Celtic credit. At one point, he made up a different league table that he thought showed that his team had done better than Celtic.
If the Belgian stays in charge at Rangers, this is just the latest crazy rant in a pattern I think we will see a lot of.

He has played Celtic four times since moving to Glasgow, and they have lost three times and drawn once.
Celtic has won two times. Celtic has shown that they are Scotland’s best team. Rangers can’t beat Celtic once more. That may not work out for Clement, but it’s the truth.
