3 wins in a row makes a BIG difference for Danny Rohl’s Rangers | OneFootball

After a (reasonably) comfortable dispatch of hapless lowly Dundee, Rangers head coach Danny Rohl was able to earn some slack. Rangers win three in a row.

The German boss at Ibrox, well, the kind of ‘boss’ anyway, managed to get three league wins in a row in a baffling contrast to the European failures.

That’s 6 fixtures, 3 wins, 3 losses.

All wins in the league, all losses in every other competition.

If anything ever screamed of a boss who can’t handle the big matches, this might be it, but Rohl is at least delivering bread and butter wins.

The basic building block of winning is being able to overcome the ‘diddies’. The wee teams. We can’t read much into beating Dundee, who are a chronically poor team, but it’s where you start.

After that, you take the next challenge, winning against the better domestic teams. Europe would then be after that.

And the simple fact is that under Rohl Rangers have won 3 league matches in a row at the grass roots of football.

One goal conceded in all of that.

It was long said Walter didn’t win pretty – he didn’t play nice football. He played winning football. No WAY are Ibrox Noise comparing Rohl to Walter, but the rules are the same. Win at any cost. Even playing badly. Especially playing badly.

Barry Ferguson once said after the Le Guen disaster that he wouldn’t trust any turnaround till there were at least 10 wins in a row, or ‘unbeaten’ to that number.

If Rohl keeps winning in the league, it’s the basic requirement of Rangers.

Doing it against Hearts or Celtic is a taller order given they’re quite the leap from Killie and Dundee, but nevertheless.

We haven’t suddenly changed our minds that Rohl is the answer, but it’s definitely better to see 3 wins in a row than not to.

He now has a 50% overall win ratio which isn’t terribly inspiring, but if Rohl was to secure top three in this league with Hearts just starting to stutter recently, at this stage that would be a victory. Top two would be a good recovery.

But you start at stage 1. Unfortunately for Rohl the next three are a bit tougher. High-flying Falkirk, Dundee United and lowly Livi.

Come out of that lot with more wins and finally league Rangers are starting to put together some form.

We’d ditch Europe entirely, this squad is miles off that level.

But the bread and butter of the league is always priority. Rangers win three in a row at last.

Progress?

We’ll not go there just yet…
