In Rohl’s first weekend as Rangers boss, they leapt from eighth to fifth thanks to a 3-1 win over Kilmarnock, which featured Chermiti’s first goal for the Ibrox club. They were 13 points behind Hearts before a ball was kicked.<\/p>\n
Yet now, with 11 games of this rollercoaster season left, Rangers are just two behind Derek McInnes’ pacesetters.<\/p>\n
It’s a turnaround that few could have predicted, and many Rangers fans had already effectively written the league off.<\/p>\n
In 19 league matches in charge, Rohl has won 14, drawn four and lost just one – to Hearts at Tynecastle Park back in December.<\/p>\n
“It’s not been pretty for Rangers for the most of this season,” former Rangers midfielder Scott Arfield said on BBC Radio Scotland’s Sportsound. “Danny Rohl has gone in there and quietly got this team firing again.”<\/p>\n
The importance of the new head coach cannot be understated, and even caught the eye of Scotland boss Steve Clarke.<\/p>\n
“He’s found a way of playing that suits the squad of players that he’s got,” Clarke said on Sky Sports. “He showed midweek [against Motherwell] that he’s not afraid to make changes, so he trusts his squad.<\/p>\n
“When you win matches you get more confidence. If you come in as a manager and start by winning games, immediately the players are going to be onside.<\/p>\n
“The players are with him, the crowd are with him as well. It’s been a really good run for Rangers and they’re certainly doing very well at the moment.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
