Here's every word Rangers manager Philippe Clement had to say following his side's Scottish Premiership 1-0 win over St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park.

Your thoughts on the game?

That it was a good performance. The only thing we missed is to score a second, third or fourth goal, to finish off the game earlier and to kill the belief of the opponent. What we did well against Nice, but we have to say also it was a really good goalkeeper on the other side. It's a little bit annoying from my side because it's a few weeks that I have had to repeat that, but that's part of football, that apparently goalkeepers against us, they play the game of their season. And that was the case because a few really good finishes and actions, but he kept his team in the game. At the end, it's also crucial to not concede chances, so we have for the second time in a row only one shot on target from the opponent. Last week it was a goal, today it was not. And we need to continue in that way, keeping clean sheets and being defensively strong. And I don't speak only about defence, it's all the team working hard for that. So I see a lot of improvements with all the squad in what they are doing. It's now continuing all these things, what we talked about in the last weeks and months and the mistakes we made, to take it out of the game. And then in the final third, sometimes to have better positioning, sometimes to have better decision-making also. [It’s] still a work in progress. 

What did you make of Ianis Hagi’s performance?

That he was good on the ball, that he created things, that he worked hard for the team, that he gave the assist also for the goal. So that's also an important one for offensive players to get stats. It was positive. But I don't give chances out of nothing, it's because of what he's been doing in the training and the way he came in against Dundee United. So it's good to have another offensive option because we still miss a lot of players in our offensive third, with Tom Lawrence, with Cortes, with Rabbi Matondo. So it's important that Ianis is there now. 

Is it good to be getting some options back?

We've been struggling with that, that's true. It's good that you say it now, because a few weeks ago maybe you didn't say it in that way. No, it's important because we have every three days game. So you need some freshness to do all the work, to be decisive. There's not one team in the world where the offensive players are every game playing 90 minutes every three days, because after a while you lose your legs and you lose this freshness to be decisive. So it's important that we can make a kind of rotation for sure in those positions.

What was the thinking behind taking Robin Propper off again?

Yes, he got a knock on his knee in the first-half and he was struggling with that. And he's also sick after the game [on Thursday], so he felt really bad. And Leon is ready, we know. So I was in doubt already to start with Leon or not today. We will make rotation also in those positions, that it won’t be the same centre-back every time.

You must be pleased with James?

Yeah, he can get all the credit today, for sure. And that's the Tav I want to see, who's decisive on the ball, but he's also decisive in the defensive actions. Scoring the goal is something extra, of course, but you see already if your right full-back is scoring on the goalline, that says also something about the intentions of our team today and how to play. So yeah, that's what I want to see the rest of the season. And maybe people from outside, they see at a player's age and they write people really fast off. He showed today that he's still a very important player for this season and that he can make the difference in a lot of games.

Do you think reducing his game time can be beneficial for him?

I'm convinced about that, yes. Is the player happy with that? Probably not. Like nobody is if they're not playing, but that's part of football. I had the luck that it didn't happen too much with me because I was a centre-back. That's different, but it's part of football. And for sure in modern football, you see it more and more. And this season will be the season with the most amount of games ever in a short period. So we will need this rotation and everybody to be happy in that way.

Can you give us an update on Kasanwirjo and Sterling?

The operation for Nana was good, but he will be at least out for four to six months. So we cannot count on him. So we will see at the end of the season how things go. We have an agreement with Feyenoord that he will do his rehab also there. But I stay in touch with Nana, who was really disappointed not to continue the work he's been doing because he loves the club, he loves the dressing room, he even loves the staff - that doesn't happen much! So we will see at the end of the season how it will be with him, but we cannot count on him the next couple of months. And Dujon, yeah, that's unlucky because it's not a real injury. It's a blocked nerve. So he has to go to the specialist to unblock it, to get treatment around that. Because of that, he was not available today. We will see if he's available on Wednesday or not. It's not a long-term thing, but those things happen. It's nothing to do with training
