manager has issued a defiant rallying cry to supporters after a damaging 3-2 defeat to left his side’s title hopes hanging by a thread.
The loss at Ibrox saw Rangers slip to third place in the table, now trailing by four points and sitting just behind fierce rivals . It was a result that sparked frustration among fans, with boos echoing around the stadium at full-time.
Despite the setback, Rohl remains adamant that the title race is far from over.
The German coach pointed to his team’s resilience and fighting spirit as key reasons for optimism. Having come back from two goals down during the match, Rangers once again showed their attacking threat—but their defensive frailties ultimately proved costly.
Rohl emphasized that belief within the squad has not wavered, insisting that their ability to respond to adversity throughout the season gives them a platform to mount a late push.
“This feels like a big blow,” he admitted, “but it’s my responsibility to lift the players and the entire club. We’ve shown before that we can respond, and we will do it again.”
A major concern, however, remains Rangers’ defensive record. Conceding nine goals in their last four matches, Rohl acknowledged that tightening up at the back is essential if they are to have any chance of lifting the trophy. While their attacking output has been strong, the inability to keep clean sheets has forced them into energy-draining comebacks.
The manager also highlighted inconsistency across full matches as another issue. Rangers have shown flashes of dominance but struggled to maintain intensity over 90 minutes—something Rohl believes must improve immediately.
Attention now turns to a crucial showdown against Hearts, which Rohl described as a “final before the final.” With only a handful of games remaining, every point is vital, and any further slip-ups could end their challenge entirely.
Beyond that, a high-stakes clash with Celtic looms large, a fixture that could ultimately define Rangers’ season. Rohl is hopeful that fans will be allowed to attend in full capacity, believing their support could play a decisive role.
He reserved special praise for the Ibrox faithful, who backed the team relentlessly despite the disappointing result.
“The fans were outstanding,” he said. “Even when we were behind, they believed. Now it’s on us to respond for them.”
With the title race entering its निर्णing phase, Rangers find themselves under immense pressure. But if Rohl’s message is anything to go by, surrender is not an option—and the fight for the Premiership crown is far from finished.
