"After the Hearts game, of course, the feeling was disappointment, but we have to go forward again. It's about us creating a new momentum, a new run. If I asked you eight weeks ago if it was possible to have, at the end of December, a game where we are in a title race? Then you would say, 'I'm not sure'."
"It hurts at the moment that we had this small setback, but it's for us to start winning games again. There are still 20 games to go, and if you do this, then you have a chance. I think the feeling before the game was really strong from our side. I felt from all players that we really believed we are back. Now we have to understand where we are."
Rangers fell 12 points behind Hearts after a 2-1 defeat at Tynecastle, with Stuart Findlay and Lawrence Shankland scoring in the first half. Danny Rohl suffered his first top-flight loss since taking over, ending an eight-game unbeaten run. Opta's simulations give Rangers only a 3.2% chance of winning the title, compared with Celtic on 39.8% and Hearts on 56.9%. Rohl expressed belief that a new run could close the gap, noting there are 20 league games remaining. Rangers face a difficult festive fixture list including Motherwell, St. Mirren, Celtic and Aberdeen, and a poor recent record versus Motherwell.
