Philippe Clement has implored his Rangers players to start replicating their Ibrox dominance away from home after they defeated Aberdeen 3-0. His players were in control against the Dons from early on, Hamza Igamane even pretending he was playing an Xbox as he celebrated edging the home side in front in the 13th minute.

Substitutes Leon Balogun and Cyriel Dessers added late goals in what ended up a straightforward victory, with Clement’s side now taking 34 points from a possible 36 at home this season. In contrast, they’ve managed just three wins from 11 games on their travels and the Belgian says he will only be happy when that record changes.

While supporters groups held more protest banners aloft after 55 minutes, the victory earned an ovation from home fans at full-time. ‘It’s about us on the pitch, showing the right things. Then the fans get behind us,’ said Clement. ‘People go home with a good feeling and that is our ambition.

‘Now we have to do that in away games. ‘It would have been harsh if we had just won 1-0. It was important to kill the opponent with the second and third goals. ‘You know in football that you can dominate and then one ball drops in your box and you lose points.
