Rangers manager Danny Rohl felt his side made a "statement" with a 3-0 victory over Dundee, narrowing the gap on Premiership leaders Hearts to four points. Goals from James Tavernier, Danilo and Djeidi Gassama secured an eighth successive win in all competitions, with Hearts' draw against Celtic allowing Rangers to leapfrog their Old Firm rivals into second place.
Rohl praised his team's attitude, saying: "It feels great, but hopefully the feeling will be better during the second half of the season. There is still a long way to go. Eight wins in a row is a statement, especially from the point we were at. If we can continue this and do our homework, then it's on."
The manager highlighted the need to break down a well-organised Dundee side, noting that in the first half there were too many players behind the ball. However, a strong start to the second half and two late goals sealed the win. Rohl added: "The good part is that even after 3-0, the group wants to do more and better. They are still hungry."
Dundee boss Steven Pressley was disappointed with his side's performance and plans to add new faces before the transfer window closes. He revealed injuries to Clark Robertson and Billy Koumetio, who face up to six and 12 weeks out respectively, saying: "We need to add another couple of new faces. We have to make sure we're not short in these areas."
