Rangers head coach Danny Röhl understands “it’s all about winning” as his side face “nine cup finals” in the Scottish Premiership title race – ahead of Sunday’s visit to St Mirren live on Sky Sports.The Ibrox club are third in the table, six points off leaders Hearts and one point behind Old Firm rivals Celtic.
While there has been significant improvement since Röhl’s arrival in Glasgow, Rangers have won just one of their last five matches and haven’t won away from home since beating then-managerless Aberdeen at Pittodrie on 11 January.
After disappointment in back-to-back Old Firm games, all the usual questions of this Rangers side’s character and mentality have been asked.They threw away a 2-0 lead in the league meeting two weeks ago before losing out on penalties in the Scottish Cup on Sunday – that was despite their rivals failing to register a shot on target in 120 minutes.
Unlucky? Maybe, but Röhl knows there is no more room for error or misfortune if they are to finish the season with silverware.

These are good things.”But now we come to a time of the season where you have to really go in nine cup finals and that’s all about results.”It’s all about winning, winning games, and taking the three points because this is the only chance to reduce the gap in the title race.”This is what we are looking for, and we prepare during the week, and hopefully on Sunday we take the win and a good performance.”Röhl: Players are not down or scared
