Rangers beat Dundee United 4-2 at Ibrox to top the Premiership. Level on points with Hearts, ahead on goal difference.
Rangers Return to Top
Danny Rohl steered Rangers back to the top of the Scottish Premiership for the first time in two years. Rangers moved ahead of Hearts on goal difference with six games remaining.
Rohl said he would not watch the Hearts or Celtic games, switching his phone off. The 4-2 win marked the first time in two years Rangers have climbed to the top.
Rohl's Front-Foot Philosophy
Rohl told his players to stay on the front foot despite the pressure. Rangers scored four goals for the second game in a row at Ibrox.
Opta data assigned Rangers a 26% chance of winning the title under Rohl. Rohl admitted conceding two goals was a little bit too much.
Title Race Context
Hearts had led the table since September 27 but now were vulnerable at the top. Celtic remained five points behind with six games remaining.
Rohl warned the upcoming Falkirk game would be very, very difficult. The 1985 season was the last time the title was won outside the Old Firm.
