When Rangers hosts St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday night, they'll be hoping to gain even more momentum.
The newly crowned Scottish League Cup winners are now five points behind Celtic, who are now ranked ninth in the rankings.
When Philippe Clement first arrived at the Rangers, he might have thought it would take some time to turn around a team that had struggled under Michael Beale.
Rather, the Belgian has sparked an incredible comeback that has seen Rangers win the Scottish League Cup and their Europa League group.
It would not have been easy for the Glasgow giants to play in a cup final three days after their exciting 3-2 victory against Real Betis, but they prevailed 1-0 over Aberdeen at Hampden Park.
James Tavernier's goal in the second half gave Rangers even more momentum as they prepare to take on Celtic in the Premier League. The goal ended a 13-year wait for another League Cup victory.
Rangers trail their opponents and leaders by five points after two games played, and three more wins would raise the stakes before the next Old Firm derby on December 30.
Rangers have won five straight games, but St Johnstone is happy with their own performance since the beginning of November.Eight games in all competitions have seen only two losses, to Hearts and Celtic, with Craig Levein having the desired impact since his arrival last month.
In their most recent league games, St Johnstone has amassed seven points from three games, winning two of them by a score of 1-0 while picking up the other point on the road at Motherwell.
Levein and his St Johnstone players will be optimistic about continuing and playing a role in the battle for European spots, as they are currently only six points below the top five.
