- Nico Raskin explains Rohl’s tactics in new interview
- Midfielder has played the most minutes under Rohl
- German’s system is helping connect the players
Nico Raskin has praised Danny Rohl’s tactics and how they are benefitting the team in an exclusive interview with The Rangers Review.
The midfielder has played the most minutes under the German than any other Rangers player.
Raskin hails Rohl’s structure and believes that has been crucial to the revolution.
Raskin defends Rohl’s tactics that can be misunderstood
The 25-year-old believes the misinterpretation about Scottish football is the need to “drag the opposition out to gain the freedom to play forward.”
This is why Rohl’s Rangers can be seen as too slow on the ball and often playing an extra pass rather than taking the ball forward themselves and running with it.
To supporters, it may seem that the players are hesitating but instead they are unlocking the next phase in their play.
So, what can be perceived as slow is in fact Rohl’s way of ensuring his players are controlling the narrative.
And Raskin’s comments are letting us peek behind the curtain into the formula that Rohl believes will propel Rangers to greater heights.
Manager’s structure is strengthening player relationships
As much as Rohl has a structure to his game, like his predecessor, it is the freedom within that is where the difference lies.
Raskin’s quote on how “since Danny arrived, we are more connected with each other” highlights how being free on the pitch is allowing the players to enjoy their football.
And the number of goals that the Gers are firing into the net lately is testament to how strong their relationships are that there is trust.
Raskin could trust Bojan Miovski to take control of his pass and create a strong goalscoring opportunity.
This shows that Rohl’s approach is paying dividends and allowing the players to be composed and clinical in the final third.
With five games remaining and 15 goals in their last four matches, it appears that everything is working at Rangers at the right time.

With only one league defeat in 25 matches, it is clear that Rohl’s system is getting the best out of the players.
The fact that the players feel connected whenever they go onto the pitch has been a major ingredient into their cohesion within attack.
However, the recent surge in goals is that, recent and is seemingly proving that Rohl’s methods are delivering at the most crucial juncture of the season.
