Sour grapes is a wonderful saying that’s very applicable when football results don’t go your way. In the aftermath of a defeat, many can be left feeling beyond frustrated with the fact that they have lost and in particular, when it is at the hands of an opponent who is deemed inferior. However, whilst that can be expected from the supporters, it’s questionable when it extends to the manager or head coach.
No dignity in Dingwall – Clement just couldn’t bring himself to shake Don Cowie’s hand
Well, after Ross County humbled the moral victors today in the Highlands 3-2, scoring some great goals along the way, it should be noted, Philippe Clement just couldn’t bring himself to shake Don Cowie’s hand and congratulate him on a job well done – particularly after watching his team playing so assuredly against the second best team in the country.
Not a great look for the Belgian coach
It wasn’t to be, as big, bald Phil marched straight up the tunnel in a huff when the final whistle blew at the Victoria Park in Dingwall. Not a great look for the Belgian coach and neither was his team’s performance today against a side that is battling to stay in the Scottish Premiership. Remember, Clement is an absolute mastermind and tactical genius and he’s here to put Brendan Rodgers and Celtic out of their collective misery apparently.
Celtic remain four points clear
The result now leaves Celtic four points clear at the summit of Scottish football and with theRangers now needing to get all three points against Dundee this coming Wednesday night, the pressure is beginning to show in the manager Monaco sacked. If him and his team slip up once more in any capacity before they visit Parkhead post-split, the cracks could really begin to widen and then we’ll see what both he and his team are really made of.
Perhaps realising this was a bad look theRangers manager did shake his Ross County counterpart’s hand after his post match interview with Sky Sports.

Very poor sportsmanship from the in-clement Philippe. Straight down the tunnel at the whistle, not so much as a handshake for the County manager. pic.twitter.com/INcP41w33p
