It's another big night for the Light Blues in Europe when they face Dynamo Kyiv on Tuesday
The Ibrox boss doesn’t shy away from the huge importance of the potential group-stage jackpot in terms of his future rebuilding plans. But, as he says himself, he’s not an accountant. Whilst fully aware of the significance of pouring almost £40 million into the coffers, Clement’s a football man. With that in mind, the Champions League symbolises the elite.
“The club is very conscious about that, I know that and together we want to create a really good story, a strong story for the future. But it is not a story you can write in three or four weeks so we are working hard on that. The Champions League can help to make the story go faster.” “But I said last time also that I’m not an accountant here at the club. I am not the one who says: Okay we spend £200,000 here and we get £100,000 there.
Group-stage qualification is a different story and he continued: “It is not about being on schedule, I think it can make things happen faster. Going to the Champions League is not budgeted and that is the best way because some teams have done that in the past and they had really big financial problems out of that. We can’t do that, clearly.
With that mind, Rangers have carved a strong position. Cyriel Dessers’ late leveller in Lublin earned the 1-1 draw which gives Clement’s team a big opportunity at Hampden.
