Danny Rohl told his Rangers players to stay \u201con the front foot\u201d in the Premiership run-in after a 4-2 win over Dundee United took the Gers top for the first time in more than two years. Goals from Ryan Naderi, Dujon Sterling, Thelo Aasgaard and substitute Bojan Miovski proved too much in the end for the visitors, who scored through Amar Fatah and Zac Sapsford.<\/p>\n
Rangers were 13 points behind Hearts when Rohl took over as manager in October, but they lead the Jambos on goal difference with six games remaining, albeit their rivals have the chance to go back to the top when they travel to Livingston on Sunday. Third-placed Celtic, five points behind their Old Firm rivals, face Dundee at Dens Park later the same day.<\/p>\n
Rohl said: \u201cI was really surprised this is the first time we\u2019ve been top in two years. But the most important thing is that we still have the right mindset. Even now we are top, we have to stay as the hunter.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to be on the front foot and if we win six games then we will have something at the end of the season. I am really convinced my players have the potential to do this. But there is still a long way to go and it\u2019s no secret that next week away to Falkirk<\/a> is a very, very difficult game.<\/p>\n \u201cWe will take things step by step, but we had nine \u2018finals\u2019 and we have won the first three of them. That gives us a good feeling, but nothing more. We have to be humble and ready for the next fight.\u201d<\/p>\n As usual, Rohl will keep away from news of the games on Sunday. Hearts and Celtic have dropped points in recent weeks at times when Rangers were not playing and the German said: \u201cI will do the same as the last matchday. I put my phone off, no ticker, no live score.<\/p>\n \u201cLast time, I got a message from my assistant coach saying \u2018did you see the result?\u2019. I said \u2018no, what happened?\u2019. He said \u2018great result\u2019. So I will do exactly and maybe three times in a row it will happen.\u201d<\/p>\n Hibernian benefited from a fast start as they defeated Kilmarnock 3-0 at Easter Road to turn up the heat on Motherwell<\/a> in the battle for fourth. Hibs struck twice in the opening 12 minutes through Owen Elding and Felix Passlack before the substitute Ante Suto notched in stoppage time.<\/p>\n Ante Suto stretches to score Hibernian\u2019s third against Kilmarnock at Easter Road.

While Hibernian \u2013 now unbeaten in six matches \u2013 are chasing a position that would ensure a European place next season, Killie remain in the relegation playoff spot, three points adrift of St Mirren<\/a> and Aberdeen.<\/p>\n
