The next test for Rohl’s new Rangers is Sunday’s Premier Sports Cup semi-final against Celtic at Hampden.<\/p>\n
Given the turbulence at Celtic this week after Brendan Rodgers’ shock departure, Rangers might fancy their chances with their new-found confidence and greater resilience.<\/p>\n
Martin O’Neill’s side found some of their old form with a 4-0 win over Falkirk, though, which means the second derby of the season is very difficult to call.<\/p>\n
Rohl said himself Rangers still have loads to work on, especially on the ball.<\/p>\n
The downside of their compact shape has been a lack of width, and with the jury still out on all of the summer recruits.<\/p>\n
Rangers managed just 13 crosses at Easter Road, compared to Hibs’ 22, and the home side had the clearer chances.<\/p>\n
In a way all that has been achieved is installation of the basics after Martin’s side toiled in the first two months of the season.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless Rohl’s six-day turnaround has at least sparked some belief.<\/p>\n
“It will be a great game and I’m excited,” he said. “We go in with two wins in a row and great confidence and we will make a good game. My boys are ready for this. <\/p>\n
“That’s what I feel in the locker room at the moment, this is what we’ve created in the last two games.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The next test for Rohl’s new Rangers is Sunday’s Premier Sports Cup semi-final against Celtic at Hampden.
