Rangers' new head coach, Danny Rohl, has made a promising start to his tenure, guiding the team to a crucial home win over Kilmarnock at Ibrox. The 3-0 victory, which ended the club's long wait for a home league win, has sparked optimism among fans and pundits alike.
The win was all the more impressive considering Rangers' tumultuous start to the season, which had seen them struggle to find consistency and cohesion. Rohl's arrival, however, seems to have brought a much-needed injection of energy and enthusiasm to the team.
One of the key aspects of Rohl's strategy was his willingness to make significant changes to the starting lineup. The dropping of underperforming players and the reintroduction of Bojan Miovski and Danilo paid dividends, with the latter scoring his first Premiership goal since January's derby win over Celtic.
Youssef Chermiti, who had been struggling to find his footing at Rangers, also rediscovered his scoring form, netting a powerful strike that released the pressure valve at Ibrox. Rohl was effusive in his praise for the Portuguese striker, acknowledging that his goal was a significant one for both him and the team.
The performance was far from perfect, but it was a clear improvement on what had gone before. Rangers' newfound intensity and flexibility were on full display, with the team moving up the pitch quicker and the passing sharper. The Ibrox crowd, sensing a newfound synergy between the team and the coaching staff, was electric, with many fans calling for Rohl's name throughout the second half.
As Rangers approach a potentially season-defining week, with matches against Hibs and Celtic on the horizon, the team will be looking to build on this momentum. A win against Hibs on Wednesday night would take them above their opponents, and a success in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final against Celtic next Sunday would put Rohl's team on the cusp of their first trophy under his leadership.
