We need to do more in the final third and we have to have more control in these types of games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to dominate these matches and that is something that I know I need to improve on too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we control the game more it doesn\u2019t become hectic. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to keep our heads up, the season is until May and we are in the mixer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we look at where we were before Christmas, then we are still in the mixer. We got a point and we have to keep our heads up as the next game is just around the corner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chukwuani returned to the starting XI after missing the final Europa League clash in Porto.<\/p>\n<p>He is loving life at Ibrox and believes there is more to come from him as he settles into life in Glasgow. <\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cI have been thrown into it but that\u2019s the way I like it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe guys have helped me settle in quickly, but we are trying to build relationships on the pitch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI need to find that connection with Nico Raskin but the more we play together the stronger that will become.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will continue to grow, this wasn\u2019t a bad performance, but we know we can improve on things.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have Kilmarnock on Wednesday, and it is good that we have competition in the squad as it takes everyone. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fans bring us energy and we really need that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hospitality.rangers.co.uk\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">VIP HOSPITALITY<\/a>: Combining all the passion, excitement and joy of football with an unrivalled choice of suites and packages, a matchday at Ibrox can be exactly what you want it to be!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tickets.rangers.co.uk\/en-GB\/categories\/mygers\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MYGERS MEMBERSHIP<\/a>: MyGers brings you closer to the club, providing access to exclusive events and experiences along with discounts across Edmiston House, Rangers Museum and stadium tours <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/edmistonhouse.co.uk\/en-GB\/categories\/museum-tours\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">RANGERS MUSEUM AND STADIUM TOURS<\/a>: Experience the magic of Ibrox Stadium, with your very own \u2018access all areas\u2019 pass<\/p>\n<p>\u2008<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n      &#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"news-article__copyright\">Article Copyright \u00a9 2026.
