This is the big disappointment for me tonight. We played a solid first half and went into the lead, which is exactly what you want playing away.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0_Ferencvaros-v-Rangers.jpg\" alt=\"Rangers manager Danny Rohl in the dugout at Ferencvaros\" loading=\"lazy\"  \/>Rangers manager Danny Rohl in the dugout at Ferencvaros(Image: SNS Group)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cIf you go in at half-time with a lead, they have to open up and there are more spaces. But we lost the first goal and in the second half, we missed so many transition moments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cAnd for the second goal, it\u2019s far too easy. We have to look at our positioning because it\u2019s a long ball. It\u2019s in the air for 40 metres. If you\u2019re in the right position, nothing happens.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cThese are the parts of the game where we\u2019re not clinical enough. This is the second game in a row where I\u2019ve seen a team that\u2019s competitive and is in the process of moving forward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cBut I see a team which is destroying their hard work in this competition with two or three situations. To take something you have to be sharp for 95 minutes in every duel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cIf you do it, you can win this game.

What happens in the next two games isn\u2019t a topic for me today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cI have to move forward now and prepare the players for big games ahead in the league.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Rohl can now focus on trying to get back into a Scottish Premiership title race, with Gers\u2019 remaining two Europa League ties against Ludogorets and Porto in January now effectively dead rubbers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">He\u2019s hoping in-form striker Miovski will be available to play against Hibs on Monday night after he was taken off in Hungary and was icing an injury by full-time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The manager was at least boosted by the return of Dujon Sterling from injury. But a frustrated Rohl said: \u201cI\u2019m angry today about these two or three mistakes. It\u2019s hard to take.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cBut from tomorrow on, we have to focus on big, important games in the league.

Bojan got a kick but it could be a bit more. Hopefully not.

He\u2019s a player at our club and there\u2019s nothing more to say.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cWe need every player in good shape.
