Danny Rohl has transformed 98% Rangers star who dominated Aberdeen, his stats are remarkable
Rangers’ turnaround this season has been incredible under Danny Rohl.
The Gers have managed to rescue what looked to be a campaign to forget and are now suddenly in the race for the Scottish Premiership title.
Their 2-0 win over Aberdeen on Tuesday now means that Rangers are three points off Hearts, with Celtic fans fuming.
Much of this is down to the management of Rohl, who has managed to get the best out of what is a weak squad for Old Firm standards.
One of the best performers in recent weeks has been Connor Barron, who put on another show against Aberdeen.
💙 Victory at Ibrox.

Connor Barron dominated Aberdeen
Last season, while Barron was a solid player for Rangers, he was nothing to shout about as they eventually finished second in a poor campaign.
This looked to continue under Russell Martin, with the midfielder even being dropped to the bench for a period under the former Southampton boss.
Yet, under Rohl’s wing, Barron has been remarkable, and arguably put in his best performance as a Rangers player on Tuesday.

Against Aberdeen, the midfielder collected two assists in the victory and was easily the best player on the pitch.
On top of this, according to Fotmob on 7 January, he completed 98 per cent of his passes, fired three shots on goal and created a stunning seven chances.

Therefore, there is no doubt that Rohl has transformed the midfielder into one of the best players at the club at the moment.
What did Danny Rohl say after their victory over Aberdeen?
Rohl was obviously ecstatic that Rangers managed to overcome Aberdeen on Tuesday.
The result has continued the Gers’ winning streak to four matches, as they prepare to face the Dons again on the weekend.
There is now a real belief that Rohl can guide the Old Firm side to just their second Scottish Premiership title since they returned to the top-flight.
Speaking after the match, the Ranges manager told BBC Sport on 6 January that he feels that their resurgence has surprised a lot of people.
“I have a fantastic coaching team, it’s not a one-man show,” the former Sheffield Wednesday boss said.
“We’re doing this together with the club, with my players, with the coaches, with the staff behind the coaches, I think we’re growing together.
“I don’t know, I think we are on a fantastic way, I think we surprised a lot of people since I came here.
“But for me it’s about the next, I’m hungry, I’m ambitious, I know what it means and what effort we need until the end of the season.”
