GIVEN the shambles he walked into when he arrived at Rangers last week, there was always a feeling that it might take Danny Rohl some time to turn things around.
All the more so when, having been in the building for barely 48 hours, his reign began with a disastrous 3-0 Europa League defeat away in Norway against SK Brann.
That result became the latest wound inflicted on Rangers, but the healing hands of Rohl have shown signs that they could well restore the club to good health in the fullness of time.
It is early days in the tenure of the young German head coach, but victories over Kilmarnock and Hibernian have brought plenty of positives.
First of all, after scrapping it out to claim three hard-fought points at Easter Road on Wednesday, it marks the first time that Rangers have won back-to-back games all season.
It was also the first time that Rangers had kept a clean sheet in 25 matches away from home, a run stretching all the way back to last November.
There were several players whose performance levels have improved significantly from anything they showed under Russell Martin.
John Souttar looks far more comfortable and commanding in a back three in Rohl’s 3-4-2-1 system. Likewise Jayden Meghoma as the left wing-back.
