Rangers' assistant coach Danny Rohl has boldly declared his team's ambition to challenge for a league and cup double this season, a statement that will undoubtedly excite fans and spark discussions among football enthusiasts.
After a dominant 5-0 Scottish Cup victory over Annan Athletic, Rohl expressed his belief in the team's ability to compete for multiple titles. This comes as a significant statement, especially considering Rangers' recent resurgence under Rohl's guidance, rising to third in the league table.
The game saw a hat-trick hero in Bojan Miovski, who led the charge with two early goals, followed by contributions from Kieran Dowell and Thelo Aasgaard, sealing the comprehensive win.
But here's where it gets intriguing: Rohl's confidence in his team's title chances comes despite a significant gap to league leaders Hearts. Is this a realistic ambition or a motivational tactic?
"We can play for two titles at the moment," Rohl affirmed. He further emphasized the team's hunger and the positive atmosphere in the dressing room, particularly after their impressive 2-0 win over Aberdeen.
The January transfer window has also been a busy one for Rangers, with the introduction of Tochi Chukwuani, Andreas Skov Olsen, and Tuur Rommens. Rohl hinted at further signings, stating, "We have still some days to go." Are these new signings the missing pieces to Rangers' title puzzle?
One of the new signings, Skov Olsen, a Danish winger, is eager to make an impact. He expressed his desire to contribute to the team's success, saying, "I will try to break through... shoot and set up my mates." With a successful stint in Belgium under his belt, Olsen aims to replicate that form at Ibrox.
Skov Olsen's familiarity with some current Rangers players, including former teammates from his time at Nordsjaelland, could be a significant factor in his adjustment to the team. Will this connection be a secret weapon for Rangers' success?
As Rangers continue their pursuit of silverware, the question remains: Can they overcome the odds and achieve the double? Only time will tell, but Rohl's determination and the team's recent form suggest they are up for the challenge. What do you think? Is this a realistic goal or a bridge too far?
