The German will be in the dugout for the first time in the Europa League clash with Brann since taking the job<\/p>\n

It has been a whirlwind week for Danny Rohl <\/a>– and the new Rangers boss now faces his first test against Brann Bergen.<\/p>\n

Just days ago it looked like the former Sheffield Wednesday man was out of the running to replace Russell Martin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But after an extended next boss search, the German will be in the dugout for the Europa League<\/a> showdown as the Glasgow giants search for their first win the in the competition.<\/p>\n

He hasn’t had long to work with the players, so will there be major changes from the draw with Dundee United <\/a>last weekend?<\/p>\n

Rohl has a set way he likes to see his teams play, with German football expert Raphael Honigstein telling Premier Sports: “His ideal way to play is a 4-2-3-1 with high pressing, dominating the ball, and winning it back as quick as possible.<\/p>\n

“If he could draw on a piece of paper what he would like to do, these are the convictions and the principles he stands for.”<\/p>\n

But the man himself insists that winning is all that matters at this point after a nightmare start to the season for Rangers.<\/p>\n

Speaking at his first press conference, the 36-year-old said: “The first step is, and this is the huge one, we need wins in a row. I think this is very important because with wins in a row you can create self-confidence.<\/p>\n

“My football, what I want to see on the pitch is intensity, it’s spirit, it’s togetherness and it’s a playing forward style. Because we want to create chances, we want to create goals.<\/p>\n

“And we have to understand, and this is also part of the football, we have to defend as a group, as a unit, much, much better and be aggressive in the duels and all these things I want to bring to this club.<\/p>\n

“At first you have to win games, then we can speak about playing attractive football.”<\/p>\n

So, a shake up to the backline could be on the cards. Brentford loanee Jayden Meghoma could drop out of the starting line-up from last weekend’s Premiership draw, with Derek Corneluis shifting to the left side of defence and Nasser Djiga coming in.<\/p>\n

That would allow two holding midfielders – with Connor Barron coming into the line-up to fill the role, which would see Joe Rothwell drop out.<\/p>\n

And the striker conundrum now falls to Rohl. Youssef Chermiti<\/a> could come in for Bojan Miovski to give the \u00a38million man a chance to net his first Rangers goal.<\/p>\n
