Rangers Head Coach Danny Röhl Warns Against Arsenal Mistake in Title Race
Rangers head coach Danny Röhl has expressed confidence in his players as they navigate a competitive Scottish Premiership title race. Their recent victory over Hearts has brought them to within two points of league leaders Hearts and placed them ahead of defending champions Celtic.
Röhl Calls for Consistency
With six matches remaining before the league splits in April, Röhl emphasizes the importance of consistent performance. He aims for his team to secure vital points that could influence their standing as they approach the final stretch of the season.
Upcoming Challenges
The Rangers’ next match will be against bottom-placed Livingston, a game that Röhl describes as crucial for their title ambitions. “After every result, we evaluate our position and possibilities,” he stated. “It’s essential to build momentum and have a strong foundation for the final five games.”
Statistics and Performance
Since Röhl’s appointment in October, Rangers have demonstrated impressive form, losing only one out of 19 league matches. This performance has allowed them to accumulate the most points of any team in the top flight during his tenure.
- Current Position: 2nd in the Premiership
- Points Gap: 2 points behind Hearts
- Matches Before Split: 6
Learning from Arsenal’s Mistakes
Röhl has highlighted the lessons to be learned from Arsenal’s recent draw against Wolves, cautioning against complacency. “Every game is a potential challenge, even when the odds seem favorable,” he remarked. “Teams with nothing to lose play fiercely.”
Injury Updates and Team Dynamics
Röhl also addressed player injuries, noting that key defender Derek Cornelius and midfielder Connor Barron are expected to return next month. However, the squad has also encountered new injury challenges ahead of the Livingston match. Röhl hinted at possible changes to the lineup, indicating a flexible approach in facing the upcoming matches.
The Rangers are committed to maintaining their strong mindset as they pursue the title. “I have no doubt regarding our squad’s strength,” Röhl concluded. “It’s about taking it game by game and ensuring we remain focused.”
