The Ibrox side lost for the first time ever against Ross County on Sunday in the poorest performance since the Belgian replaced Michael Beale last October and he was looking for a response against the Dark Blues, who had clinched a top-six place at the weekend.
However, in a game played at the third time of asking after the Dens Park pitch was twice ruled unplayable, the visitors could not get the breakthrough and were booed off the park by angry supporters.
The Ibrox side were eight points behind league leaders Celtic at one point and with five post-split matches remaining including a trip to Parkhead, they are three points behind but asked if they could still win it, Clement said: 바카라I still believe that.
바카라I was maybe the only one in Glasgow who believed that in October, probably the only one of the whole town who believed that.
바카라We are now six months later and if we win all our games then there is a really big possibility for that.
바카라I think that is already a big step forward and I believe in this group, because I have seen what they have done this season already. They can do it again.
바카라Of course it is frustrating because you want to win, of course. You see the team gives everything for that. There was only one team who deserved to win this evening if you see the possession and the chances. It is frustrating if you have those things and don바카라t have the points.
바카라It would be concerning if it was the same performance as Sunday. That was not the case.
바카라So, there were a lot of things much better, it was also needed because Sunday was our worst performance in the six months that we바카라ve been together.
바카라Then it바카라s a pity that they show better things but don바카라t get the result behind you. But, it바카라s about standing up and being ready for Sunday again, to take the result.
바카라If they keep on pushing what they did today then results come also because that바카라s not big difference from how they played a few weeks ago or a few months ago.바카라
Ahead of the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup semi-final against Hearts at Hampden Park on Sunday, Clement asked for the backing of the Gers fans who were left so frustrated.
He said: 바카라They need to stick with the team. That is super important. It is winning together and losing points together.
바카라I know as a fan you have the emotions and for sure after the game. But they have been great the last couple of months and pushing the team over difficult moments. That is what I expect also in this situation.
바카라They expect that the team gives everything to win games. Maybe in the next weeks they can push the team a few times over the line, or the ball over the line.바카라
Tony Docherty strongly disagreed with Clement바카라s assertion that only one team deserved to win the game.
바카라I thought it was, again, a really fantastic performance by the team,바카라 said the Dundee boss, who revealed skipper Joe Shaughnessy will have a scan on a knee injury which saw him limp off early in the first half.
바카라I thought we went toe to toe with a really good Rangers team which has a huge motivation in the title race.
바카라But who had the more motivation in that game there?
바카라I thought my players served up a fantastic performance out of possession and in possession.
바카라I couldn바카라t be more pleased with them because I thought their focus going into the last two games was outstanding.
바카라And I thought we got our rewards tonight.바카라
