Statements - Philippe Clement, Rangers coach
"Anyone who is busy with more matches loses focus. It's all about the next game and showing up. If you win, you also have to win the next one or it's no good, and if you don't win, you have to react in the next game, so it's as simple as that and putting all our energy into it, but it's exciting.
For me it's also a moment of evaluation because you can see that everybody played against everybody and the same number of games. If we look back over the last six months that we have been working here together, then we are the team that has won the most points. Everyone at the club would have signed up for that six months ago and nobody believed that was possible.
Now it's about repeating that again. It's not a guarantee, but it's something they've already proven and now they have to prove it again over the next six games."
Statements - Stephen Robinson, St. Mirren coach
"It's about trying to produce those performances over the course of an entire game and not just in periods. We believe we can do that. We can throw off the shackles, we've achieved our first goal and now it's about trying to reach European soccer.
Rangers have a wealth of talent and players who can win games on their own. I was at the semi-final on Sunday and they have quality in all areas of the pitch. We've shown in stages that we can match that and it's about what we can do defensively - we have to be confident, but when we land the ball, be brave and take the game to Rangers."
