It seems that Hibs boss Nick Montgomery is taking a light-hearted approach to Rangers manager Philippe Clement’s complaints about his players being “kicked off the pitch” by opponents. Montgomery doesn’t believe Rangers are being unfairly targeted and suggests that the physical nature of Scottish football is something all teams must deal with.
Montgomery also jokingly recalls an incident where he was kicked off the pitch by one of Clement’s players, adding a touch of humor to the discussion. However, he acknowledges that Rangers have had a successful run under Clement but points out that every team faces ups and downs in terms of decisions and results.
Regarding Clement potentially pressuring referees to favor his team, Montgomery suggests that Rangers have had their share of good fortune in matches but acknowledges that this doesn’t always happen. He credits Motherwell for their victory over Rangers and expresses confidence in his own team’s abilities, regardless of the opponent.
Overall, Montgomery seems relaxed about the upcoming match against Rangers and believes his team is capable of performing well against them.
