They play Braga at home later this month followed by a trip to Robbie Keane\u2019s Ferencvaros in December. The defeat comes on the back of Sunday\u2019s Premier Sports Cup semi-final loss to rivals Celtic with a trip to Dundee in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday before the international break.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\"><a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyrecord.co.uk\/all-about\/danny-rohl\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Rohl <\/a>said: \u201cWhen you play at this level in Europe it\u2019s about the small details. You have to do everything right to be at a team at the top in the Italian division. It\u2019s not easy but we have to work on it because in the future we want to win games like this at home.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/0_JS387004605.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\"  \/>Rangers fans pull protest banners away from security stewards as the stewards try to remove them from the Broomloan Stand<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\">\u201cThere wasn\u2019t much in the first half but they were twice very clinical. Then we changed something at half time to create more pressure on the ball and until the 75th minute we were in the game but you need to score to get the momentum to come back. But they deserved to win because they did a lot of things right.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\">\u201cWe spoke in the morning about Roma\u2019s set pieces and that they always overload the first post and then the second contact. In such a game it\u2019s important you are prepared for set-pieces. We have to work on this but generally there were some moments we wren\u2019t sharp enough, especially on our counter pressing and we have to improve on that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\">\u201cWe found more space in the second half and were a little bit more flexible. I spoke to the players and said at this moment in our journey we have to make small steps and on Sunday we need to try and make it three wins in a row in the league.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\">\u201cI get more of an impression of the players and it\u2019s helpful for me. It\u2019s important, when you come straight in and you have big games you have to make decisions that help but now the focus is on Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\">On strengthening in January, he added: \u201cWe will sit together in the next couple of weeks and see what we can do and what is possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\">Keeper Jack Butland is adamant Gers can still clinch a play-off place with Braga up next at home later this month followed by a trip to Robbie Keane\u2019s Ferencvaros before the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"dailyrecord\">They have Porto and Ludogorets at the start of next year. Butland said: \u201cWe still have every chance (of qualifying). We still have every belief when we see the stadium how it was before the game. It&#8217;s not something we&#8217;ve experienced as this particular group just yet. I\u2019ve seen crazier things happen. I saw two years ago in more of a group stage phase, us come from third on the last day to win the group. Last year we really excelled in Europe and there&#8217;s still 12 points to play for. That&#8217;s got to be the mindset of the group.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Roma were comfortbale winners at Ibrox as the sporting director and CEO came under fan fire in front&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":248395,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[48115,86566,2600,218,9744,2718,69158,2714,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-248394","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-andrew-cavenagh","tag-danny-rohl","tag-europa-league","tag-football","tag-ibrox-stadium","tag-kevin-thelwell","tag-patrick-stewart","tag-rangers-fc","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248394","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=248394"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248394\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/248395"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=248394"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=248394"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=248394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
