Danny Rohl hails Rangers’ mentality monsters after massive win over Hearts closes the gap

Danny Rohl praised Rangers’ mentality to twice come from behind to beat Hearts 4-2 at Ibrox and move within two points of the William Hill Premiership leaders.

Marc Leonard scored for the Jambos in the 16th minute before substitute Michael Steinwender put through his own goal under pressure from Rangers striker Ryan Naderi three minutes later.

Claudio Braga restored Hearts’ lead with a header on the half-hour, only for Chermiti to level again in the 39th minute. The 21-year-old Portuguese striker headed in his second in the 57th minute then clinched his hat-trick with a last-minute strike.

Rangers were 13 points behind Hearts when Rohl took over from Russell Martin in October and now enter the final 11 fixtures on the tails of the Gorgie side, with Celtic three points behind their Old Firm rivals and having played a game fewer than the top two.

Rohl, whose side bounced back from a 1-1 draw at Motherwell in midweek, said: “Big respect to my group, I think we showed today how big is the personality, how big is the character.

“Let’s not speak until the end of the season about the mentality of this group, because we have a lot of mentality.

“We fully deserved over 90 minutes to win, we gave them two presents today.

“I cannot really remember that they had a more dangerous situation. We were in the game, we played even before the conceded goal with high intensity.

“Now it’s about recovery, enjoy the evening and then we go again.”
