Danny Rohl has done most of his talking through his team’s performances, and it is clear that the German coach prefers actions to words.
The Dresden-born boss would not have been lost for words at half-time on Sunday when Rangers were 2-1 down against Falkirk.
Like almost everyone else of a Rangers persuasion, he would have been angry and disappointed at what he witnessed in the opening stages at the Falkirk Stadium.
His team really struggled with the conditions and the artificial surface, but their greatest urgency was Falkirk’s urgency and application.
Danny Rohl revealed his response to players
Thankfully, Tochi Chukwuani’s strike changed the dynamic shortly before half-time and the visitors came out for the second half like a different team.
After he watched his team blow the hosts away, romping to a 6-3 victory, Danny Rohl detailed that there was no massive outburst or rant to galvanise his men.
“It wasn’t necessary for me to give too many emotions at half-time because the players themselves were emotional. They spoke to each other, said the Rangers boss.
“That shows we’re growing as a group and we have leaders in the right moments. It was more important to give them my trust and make them believe in what we are doing.
Rohl continued, “The other part was about what we had to adjust. We changed our pressing a little bit. We allowed the opponent too many long balls in behind. It was better in the second half. We were more hungry and front-footed which helps.”

This is another example of the growing influence of Danny Rohl on this Rangers team and their title credentials.
His calmness is transferring to the players, and as bad as they were in the first-half, they performed at a high level for the rest of the game.
The former Sheffield Wednesday boss doesn’t get too high or low, and it is clear that his ideas are embedded within the team.
Nico Raskin’s interview and praise of Danny Rohl is another example of this.
The massive victory over Falkirk showed that Rangers can wobble, but they also have the requisite bite and bottle to secure results and inflict damage.
Sunday’s second half has to be the catalyst for the final five games, given how impressive it was as a ‘reference’ performance and the standard that the team must maintain.
The title race is gearing up, and all three sides generally have it within their grasp.
Rangers can write their own destiny, but the lessons from Falkirk must be taken on board immediately.
Rohl will also have learned from his switch from a 4-2-3-1 to the more effective 4-2-2-2, to suit the players available.
The league title is there to be won – actions speak louder than words.
