- Rangers can go top with win over Dundee United after recent international break.
- Tochi Chukwuani highlights physicality, competition and tactical improvement.
- Midfielder backs growing belief as Rangers target title push.
Rangers have returned from the international break to a huge opportunity, to top the Scottish Premiership for the first time in over two years.
Tochi Chukwuani joined the club in January, and the break was his first chance to really settle in with his new teammates.
Reflecting on the break
The Dane stressed the importance of maintaining standards during the pause in fixtures.
“It’s been good, we’ve tried to maintain fitness levels and get some good sessions in,” he revealed.
Rather than viewing the time without fixtures as a break, Chukwuani sees it as an opportunity to refine tactical and technical aspects.
The midfielder highlighted what he believes he has added to the side since his arrival from Sturm Graz.
“I’ve brought physicality and power in midfield, that suits Scottish football,” he explained.
“It’s very intense here, very back-and-forth, you need to be very fit.
“We have four very good midfielders pushing each other to be the best.
“It’s like a dream to play here and you want to create magical moments.”
The title push
The most magic of magical moments would be a league title win in May, Chukwuani spoke of the teams belief heading into the final seven games.
“It would mean the world, you can feel the passion from the stands,” he described.
“It’s a chance to go top, we’re just trying to take the three points.
“The belief and confidence grow each game we do this.
“We have the confidence, but we need to prove it on the pitch.”

Rangers have the chance to prove they have the mentality of champions and strike the first blow of the weekend.
This would hand the Gers a significant psychological advantage, and in turn strike a mentality blow into two sides, neither used to being chasers rather than leaders.
