"They were still recovering from watching their former boss Russell Martin get bundled into the back of a getaway car at Falkirk following a 1-1 draw which left them eighth in the Scottish Premiership, 11 points off leaders Hearts and just four points above bottom side Aberdeen. In between that embarrassment and the German's unveiling, Steven Smith oversaw a 2-2 meet with Dundee United that left Rangers 13 points adrift of the summit."
"Their latest win on Monday, the sixth since Rohl came in, moved the Ibrox side up to third and nine points off Hearts - who they visit on Sunday - with a game in hand. "Rangers deserved the win, they're putting a run together now," Dodds said on BBC Sportsound. "It's a vital three points, they were pragmatic how they went about it. "If you play poorly, just make sure you're getting the win. That's what Rangers are doing.""
When Danny Rohl was appointed on 20 October, Rangers sat eighth and far behind Hearts after a turbulent period that included Russell Martin's removal following a 1-1 draw. Steven Smith's interim spell left Rangers 13 points adrift after a 2-2 draw with Dundee United. Since Rohl's arrival Rangers have won six times, moving to third and nine points behind Hearts with a game in hand. Billy Dodds described the run as pragmatic, insisting victories matter even when performances falter. In the match at Ibrox against Hibernian, Hibs dominated early, built from the back and exploited midfield space but failed to convert chances.
