Rangers suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to Hearts, leaving head coach Danny Rohl to reflect on a tale of two halves and a season of hard lessons. The loss, coming on the heels of another tight defeat, has put the team in a precarious position with just three games remaining.

"We played a strong first half. We deserved to lead," Rohl admitted, acknowledging the early dominance his side displayed. However, the second half told a different story. "This is football. We knew they would come with power," he explained, pointing to Hearts' more direct approach. "They played much, much more direct in behind. We had less pressure on the ball and then you have to defend in critical areas very often. The 2-1, you should never concede such a goal in this area. This is what we have to improve very quickly."

The manager didn't mince words about the team's inconsistency. "It's not enough to play 45 minutes on a high level, you have to play 90 minutes on your highest level." This sentiment echoes the frustration of a squad that has shown flashes of brilliance but struggled to maintain it over full matches.

With the season winding down, Rohl is calling for resilience. "What I demand from my group now is show personality and courage for the next three games. It's our job to do." He emphasized that the fight isn't over yet: "It's over when it's over, and it's not over because we still have three games to go."

Reflecting on the recent slide, Rohl acknowledged the pain. "The last two games have put us in a really difficult situation. We worked so hard to come to this point, and then you lose two times, so tight 2-1 and 3-2. This is not good enough for the moment." The narrow margins of defeat highlight the fine line between success and struggle in top-flight football.

Looking ahead, Rohl is focused on growth. "How we make decisions in moments is a part we really have to improve. We have a young, potential squad, but this is a job for the next weeks and months to improve." He concluded with a forward-looking promise: "We will analyze the season—what was right, what was wrong, what we have to improve—and then I'm totally convinced from the summer on, we go again."
