Genk chairman Peter Croonen had admitted he still regrets losing Philippe Clement - and urged Rangers not to make the same mistake. He went on to rattle off three more consecutive championship wins in his homeland before joining Monaco two years ago. “If I’m really honest, I can say I believe - to an important extent - we only played in the Champions League because Philippe was our head coach. I don’t think they would have played three times in the Champions League if it hadn’t been for him. Philippe is a football animal and I think that was something he missed a lot in Monaco.
