Winning and teamwork – Danny Ruhl lays out Rangers’ mission plan

Ruhl gave an insight into his tactical approach, as Rangers have struggled defensively this season and have also been clinical in attack.

“My focus is on my personality and what I can bring to this football club,” the former Sheffield Wednesday boss said. “I see a lot of potential.

“My football, what I want to see on the pitch is strength, fast running, teamwork, a forward style of play because we want to create chances, we want to create goals.

“We have to speed up our game. We want to attack the last line. If I do that again, we will create more chances and we will have more goals.

“We have to defend as a group, as a unit much better with a lot of aggression in duels.

“We have to press well, we have to chase, we have to rely on counter-pressing and we have to play with intensity, and it starts from striker to defender. If you do it as a unit, it is very difficult to beat us and break us down.

“First you have to win games, then you can talk about playing attractive football. We need back-to-back wins. With back-to-back wins, you can create self-confidence and absolute belief.”

Last week, Ruhl appeared to be out of the race to join Rangers, shortly after former Ibrox boss and ex-England captain Steven Gerrard pulled out of the recruitment process.

Kevin Muscat appeared to be the favourite, but the odds of a deal with the Australian falling on Sunday, at which point Rühl was back in the spotlight.

Ruhl described the meetings with the Rangers hierarchy as “fantastic” and said he “never stopped communicating”.

“It was immediately a great relationship between all of us in the meetings,” he said. “I felt confident.

“You can be first, second or third choice. It’s important to win the next matches. I can’t tell you which option, I can only tell you that I’m here and that gives me the belief that I was first choice.”
