- Rangers recover from two goals behind to win against Falkirk
- Rohl praises second-half display and their power
- Manager highlights relationship with supporters
Danny Rohl hailed his Rangers players as they recovered from two goals behind to cruise to victory against Falkirk.
The manager also described Tochi Chukwuani’s strike on the verge of the break as a vital turning point in the match as Rangers pulled a goal back.
Rohl, who is now unbeaten in 16 league matches as manager also praised the supporters with five “cup finals” remaining.
First goal was “crucial” after difficult start
Rangers were shellshocked after the opening 30 minutes saw them two goals down and their title hopes looking damaged beyond repair.
Rohl admitted that Rangers were responsible for putting themselves in a “difficult moment” with going two goals behind but that Chukwuani’s goal going into the break was “crucial”.
This highlights that the manager is being upfront about the hole that Rangers had dug for themselves and that the standards and demands were not being met.
The way that the German describes the Gers’ opening goal shows that he knows the strengths that his players have at their disposal and that cutting the deficit ultimately came at the right time, providing the catalyst for the comeback.
Rohl praises “clinical” second half performance
The manager was delighted with his players for sealing the win with particular praise for their agresson and creation.
The togetherness and team spirit from the players was in abundance and it is exactly that type of energy from the team, as well as the ability to improve that will be needed for the remaining five games.
Rangers have scored 14 goals in the last three matches with a number of different individuals contributing to the scoresheet.
Rohl described it as the Gers showing their “power upfront” and as the goal tally increases so does the players’ confidence which has translated into the composure they demonstrate in front of goal.
Importance of supporters noted
The fans were in full voice during the second half as they responded to Rohl’s men improved performance and encouraged the team throughout and Rohl noted the “relationship” between them and the players.
There is a strong synergy developing as each game goes by, a far cry from the final days of the Russell Martin era.
And that will be vital as Rangers enter the final five defining matches of an unprecedented and thrilling season.
