Clement decided not to shake Cowie's hand at the full-time whistle and instead decided to the dressing room to lift the spirits of his dejected dressing room.
Philippe Clement has explained his reasoning behind not immediately shaking hands with Ross County boss Don Cowie following his side's shock 3-2 defeat in Dingwall.
Belgian boss Clement didn't embrace his opposite number Cowie immediately after the full-time whistle, and only returned to shake the former Scotland international's hand before the pair's post-match debriefs. However, the 50-year-old has insisted they was no disrespect intended behind the snub and says he had quickly sprinted down the tunnel to console his dejected players minutes after the dismal defeat.
The Sky Sports cameras then captured the moment that Clement returned to the touchline to congratulate rookie boss Cowie, who has led his team to within a single point of safety from the relegation play-off zone with a priceless and well-earned win against the Gers.
