Philippe Clement says Dundee United rejected Rangers offer that would have avoided Ibrox delay
Philippe Clement says Dundee United rejected the offer to head straight to Ibrox for their pre-match meal and meeting.
The Tangerines left Tayside at 930am this morning but hadn't arrived in Govan until just before 3pm due to travel chaos caused by Storm Bert. As a result, the Premiership showdown at Ibrox was pushed back until 3:45pm but Clement says that could have been avoided had the visitors accepted Rangers' offer and ditched their plans to go to a hotel.
Asked if the delay was any sort of advantage to the hosts, Clement told BBC Sportsound: "I'm really happy for all the effort that all the people in the club did today. The groundsmen but also a lot of other people coming to help to get the pitch playable. We offered [Dundee United] to come here and to have food and to have a meeting room and everything but they prefer to go to the hotel first. They chose to make that preparation."

"We offered [Dundee United] to come here and to have food and to have a meeting room and everything but they prefer to go to the hotel first. They chose to make that preparation."
Meanwhile Clement explained his decision to bench captain James Tavernier in favour of right-back rival Dujon Sterling. The Belgian said: "Dujon had a long period where he had an injury problem where because of that he could not go full. The last weeks, he's feeling better. With Robin [Propper] and Leon [Balogun], it's rotation between the two.
"There are no number ones and number twos in our squad. If you see how many games we have, it's impossible for a field player to play all those games. We have to have everybody ready. Do I want performances better, still? Yes.
"[Today we need] domination, braveness to play forward, the right movements to create chances against a tough opponent. Their game plan is to annoy us, to stop us in every sense. Stay mature and play our football to create chances and not to give away chances. Be clinical."
